Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) speculated on what Americans would do in a possible \u201cEMP attack.\u201d<\/p>\n
An EMP, or an electromagnetic pulse, is a \u201cburst of electromagnetic energy produced by a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere, considered capable of widespread damage to power lines, telecommunications, and electronic equipment,\u201d according<\/a> to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).<\/p>\n \u201cImagine if we had an EMP attack or something,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cWhat would end up happening to this country?\u201d<\/p>\n You\u2019re so naturally reliant on having cell service, you\u2019re in the car, you need to figure out, you know, all this other stuff. It\u2019s a little bit jarring to think about to think about the implications of something like that happen on a much grander scale.<\/p>\n
