Directed at government agencies and I suppose the military, some low cost protections, but some are pretty easy.
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Protection and Resilience Guidelines for Critical Infrastructure and Equipment Feb 2019 (Unclassified)

On 2nd page under :
Table 1. Four EMP Protection Levels for Infrastructure and Equipment
Unplug power, data, and antenna lines from spare equipment where feasible. • Turn off equipment that cannot be unplugged and is not actively being used. • Use at least a lightning rated surge protection device (SPD) on power cords, antenna lines, and data cables; maintain spare SPDs. • Have either EMP protected backup power or a generation source that is not connected to the grid with one (1) week of on-site fuel or equivalent (e.g., renewable source). • Wrap spare electronics with aluminum foil or put in Faraday containers. • Use priority phone services like GETS, WPS (for cell phones), and TSP; join SHARES if applicable (see Appendix C). • Consider land mobile radios with standalone capabilities, HF radios, and FirstNet. • Store one week of food, water, and other supplies for personnel. • Use battery operated AM/FM/NOAA radios to receive Emergency Alerts

I used to keep a handheld scanner with wx channels wrapped in foil and kept inside an ammo box.
One week of food would not be near enough if a large solar flare or specially designed nuke set off at just the right altitude hit us and damaged most electronics. Try a year's worth.
