That is why I urge everyone to buy an EMP proof generator and 500-1000 gallons o diesel fuel.I did,it cost me about 5K to do it.Look on Ebay for MEP-802a Generator or MEP-002A if you prefer an air cooled version.
Thanks for the suggestion... here’s something to consider:

“Complete shielding of the electronics in a home generator system is rather difficult, but it is doable if you are persistent. Rather than worrying too much about complete shielding and total surge protection, it is usually a very good idea to just keep spare circuit boards and electronics modules on hand.
This is what I referred to earlier as PLAN B.
If your modules and circuit boards are plug-in or use any kind of quick-disconnect connectors, then you are in good shape regarding installation of replacement circuits. If you need to solder any part of the electronics circuit board in place, be sure to have a power source for the necessary soldering iron. This can be done with an inverter (for DC to AC conversion) and an adequately sized battery. Even the most experienced generator technician or electrician cannot change a soldered-in circuit board without an adequately powered soldering iron.”
