Get a steel metal garbage can with lid. Line the inside completely with cardboard and other non-conductive materials. Do the same for the lid except allow the rim to have metal contact with the can on the outside. Then place your electronic equipment inside. Those are duplicates or spares, as you can't operate them inside the garbage can. Seal the lid edge to the outside of the can with conductive tape. Now your electronics will be safe when the EMP hits. You might want to wait a day, in case the enemy hits us twice. An EMP will conduct the charge on the outside surface to the ground.

But good luck trying to connect your cell phone and internet equipment to anyone else! The can will allow you to set up a home entertainment system to enjoy movies and archived content, as well as replacement electronics for a generator and your vehicles, cb-radios, electronic tools etc.
