Content: These solar storms with magnetic shock waves and radiation can cause major damage to power systems, magnetic fields, and electronics. The atmosphere helps to shield the earth from a significant amount of radiation. However, these powerful solar storms can still do plenty of damage including: Shorting out satellites
Damaging electronic devices
Disrupting power grids causing widespread power outages
Confuse electromagnetic gadgets
Increase breakage and corrosion of fuel and gas pipelines
Knock out communications
Unfortunately, our dependence on electronic devices tends to make us very vulnerable to these solar storms. However, by preparing for this type of natural disaster, you and your family will have enough self-sufficient power and supplies to last for a period of several weeks, while the rest of the country is struggling without any type of power source. The Biggest Threat of a Solar Storm
Obviously, the biggest threat is a widespread power outage that can take several months to repair. Fortunately, you can prepare for this type of natural disaster by doing the following: Purchase several inverter generators
Stock up on fuel
Purchase solar panels for a backup energy supply
Buy back up batteries for your computer
Stockpile emergency supplies such as dried and canned goods
Use a Surge Protector
You can protect your electronics from a solar storm by using surge protectors throughout your home. Or you can use a whole house surge protector. This type of surge protector will connect to a breaker panel.
