Hi Christopher. There is a way of shielding your equipment, but it would mean that you would not be able to use it.
The only way to protect your computer or other like items is to enclose it entirely within "a metal" box that is large enough to encase it "with no exposed openings." You could get a metal trashcan and put cardboard two layers thick in the bottom and around the inside. With the metal LID put on it you would have a place to put the things with "chips" that you need to protect. NO wires can hang out or protrude out of the can. And the lid must be down tight, to protect the stuff inside. The problem with this is that you can’t use the equipment and would only work if you knew in advance that there was going to be some EMP. This information is going back some years and to the best of my knowledge no one has come up with a better idea. However I must admit that I haven’t looked to see if a better way has been found. Take Care…Don in creepy town.
