EMP | North Korea's Other Threat | ELE

Every 94 minutes two North Korean satellites pass over the United States.

The KMS 3-2 launched by North Korea in April of 2012 and the KMS 4 launched

in February of 2016. The satellites are orbiting at what is said to be

the optimum height for placing an EMP field over all of the 48 contiguous

United States.



An EMP would target our electrical grid and critical civilian infrastructure

by detonating above earth. It would destroy the electric grid.



While alarming, that would be survivable for most. Now let's take a look at

the real threat of an EMP. The danger that turns it into a non survivable event.

One that raises the threat level to that of an ELE. An extinction level event.

It's the threat that no one dares mention. Whispered about only in certain

circles and a few of the more serious survival blogs.



Nuclear power plants. There are over 100 nuclear power plants in the United States.
The country is littered with them. In an EMP event those would all go into meltdown
very quickly as their back up systems fail. The time frame would be anything from 24
hours to 4 weeks.



We live at a time where technology has made life simpler, easier and more fun. Those

technologies however also pose a threat. It would be wise and serve our best interests

to try and safeguard our quality of life by limiting those threats when possible.



Awareness of a problem is a huge part of it's solution,

as more people become aware of this problem we can begin to find a solution.
