EMP and families

This excellent speech by Frank Gaffney about America's unpreparedness for an EMP attack on our electronics infrastructure is worth reading for two reasons.

First, as men and leaders we should take heed his warnings about preparedness and preventative measures. A number of America's enemies are pursuing ballistic missiles with fervor.

Second, consider this vulnerability not only as electronics dependence, but as a lack of family leadership. Were an EMP attack to be successful, and much of our electronics infrastructure wiped out, how would we do as family leaders? How could we hold our communities together? What would become important, and not important?

Given your meditation on this, what do you need to do differently?
