The US military command that scans North America's skies for enemy missiles and aircraft plans to move its communications gear to a Cold War-era mountain bunker, officers said.
The shift to the Cheyenne Mountain base in Colorado is designed to safeguard the command's sensitive sensors and servers from a potential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack, military officers said.
The Pentagon last week announced a $700 million contract with Raytheon Corporation to oversee the work for North American Aerospace Command (NORAD) and US Northern Command.
Admiral William Gortney, head of NORAD and Northern Command, said that "because of the very nature of the way that Cheyenne Mountain's built, it's EMP-hardened."
"And so, there's a lot of movement to put capability into Cheyenne Mountain and to be able to communicate in there," Gortney told reporters.
"My primary concern was... are we going to have the space inside the mountain for everybody who wants to move in there, and I'm not at liberty to discuss who's moving in there," he said

Mr GG2’s nephew used to work for a consulting company at NASA. He told us their number one fear is an EMP.
As best I can tell, there is no country with the ability to adequately strike with an EMP force. Russia is barely able to get anything to work. China has a good option but it is largely untested and they have no interest in blowing up all their Walmart stores. North Korea is just making noise.
Sounds like a 1970s type threat. Maybe North Korea?
Recent declassification of EMP studies by the U.S. government has begun to draw attention to this dire threat. Rogue nations such as North Korea (and possibly Iran) will soon match Russia and China and have the primary ingredients for an EMP attack: simple ballistic missiles such as Scuds that could be launched from a freighter near our shores; space-launch vehicles able to loft low-earth-orbit satellites; and simple low-yield nuclear weapons that can generate gamma rays and fireballs.

That's probably true. However, I believe their is Biblical evidence for a coming pole shift.
Isiah 24: 19-23
Despite what many scientists say (that pole shifts will be gradual), I believe they can happen suddenly. Moreover, it is a document fact that the magnetic pole is literally racing during the last few years. I believe the poles will shift, perhaps sooner rather than later.
