Unready For This Attack

I, too, am unready for this attack should it happen in my lifetime. Kyl writes convincingly that this possibility could become a reality. I am not prepared. If an EMP attack should happen, everything I use from my electric toothbrush to acquiring my masters with much needed technology would be doomed and unsuccessful.

At home, my survival skills would be greatly tested to see if I could survive as my ancestors did in the 1880's. Indoor plumbing that worked would again become a life of luxury. Drinkable water, food that is not rotten and clean clothes would be a challenge that I am not sure I truly understand.

Librarians would have to return to manual, handwritten check-out systems. The card catalog would have to be maintained and many would have to be taught how to use it. The process of checking out books and keeping up with who has what would be cumbersome. I do not even want to think about how inventory might turn out - it would be disastrous!

An EMP attack is something I do not want to think about unless I am forced to deal with it. It frightens me and makes me feel that I would be a failure should I have to cope with such a disaster.
