AMERICA UNPREPARED FOR DEVASTATING ‘BLACK SWAN’…”An EMP is in that category, since scientific experts repeatedly warn that a major EMP event is not a question of if, but when.”
Shocking event will be regarded in hindsight as inevitable

WASHINGTON – Supply-chain disruptions often are the result of adverse weather, unplanned telecom outages, data breaches or even cyber hacking.
However, the one “Black Swan” event that would make these instances pale by comparison and result in a cascading disruption is a natural or man-made electromagnetic pulse event.
A “Black Swan” is an event regarded at the time of its occurrence as unprecedented and unexpected but later, in hindsight, understood to have been inevitable.
An EMP is in that category, since scientific experts repeatedly warn that a major EMP event is not a question of if, but when.
Barrett Moore, a security specialist and founder of the security company Triple Canopy, told WND that federal officials have modeled the effects of a “Black Swan” event on the timely delivery of food, water, fuel, medical care and technology. But they have done it primarily for the government’s benefit.
“Seeing potential for large-scale chaos,” Barrett said, “they have mitigated this risk for themselves by investing hundreds of billions of dollars in a continuity-of-government plan that has overseen the construction, equipping and provisioning of over 100 classified ‘haven’ facilities accessible only to families and staff of government officials,” he said.
“No parallel provisions have been made in our country for the general population,” he said.
