I live in an Earthship (underground ramned earth tire walls) TOTALLY off grid. I make my own electricity with solar system and wind turbine and have a small back up generator. I am also looking into the possibility of getting a hydrogenerator for the creek that runs on property. My question is can I easily or cheaply protect my home and system from emp? The roof is apprx 12 inches under maybe slightly more. The south face which is mostly window is open to collect solar heat during day. I was thnking of installing those industrial metal roll up garage doors on tracks over windows for shutters. Any input would be great. PM me if you would..Read more at http://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=72855&page=2#OC0ovZTZUOzRDEss.99

I work in the solar industry and somebody asks me about EMPs probably once a week
you need Faraday cages if you are really worried:

would love to hear Sanpaku's take on the massive solar flare/EMP scenario
