Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. 12 pages (including covers). Illustrations (most in color). Cover has slight wear and soiling. Mailing label removed from rear cover. This is stated as an Annex to the 5 Volume EMP Series. This was intended to be a quarterly publication. Scarce, ephemeral item. Among the Featured Topics are: EMP Protection Optimization, A National EMP Protection Program, Shielded Power Panels for Survivalist, New EMP Protection Journal, Silicone vs. Thin Film Solar Panels. This is one example of an increasing population of periodicals and single publications related to the EMP threat and how individuals, as well as organizations and governments, can respond and provides some information on steps and technology options available in the commercial marketplace. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also sometimes called a transient electromagnetic disturbance, is a short burst of electromagnetic energy. Such a pulse's origination may be a natural occurrence or man-made and can occur as a radiated, electric, or magnetic field or a conducted electric current, depending on the source. EMP interference is generally disruptive or damaging to electronic equipment, and at higher energy levels a powerful EMP event such as a lightning strike can damage physical objects such as buildings and aircraft structures. The management of EMP effects is an important branch of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering. Weapons have been developed to deliver the damaging effects of high-energy EMP.
