Wake up after an EMP attack....What do you do first?

Hike 1 mile to the interstate and stake claim to a grocery semi and start stocking a new cache!

It may flush but I don't think the power grid that regulates the sanitation works so the water will no be clean after a while.

That's really scary.

There are PORTABLE TOILETS that you can buy/make. Look into it.

Eat breakfast.

Shovel + small shed = outhouse.

Thats why you should have an industrial capacity mechanical cutoff switch from the elect grid/antenna switch. Consumer grade ELECTRICAL transfer switches aren't fast enough.
SO YOU HAVE TO EITHER GO OFF GRID PREEMPTIVELY OR BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO DO IT IMMEDIATELY ON APPROPRITE INTEL.

Of course you can prepare gas phase fire prevention with automatic or manual release halon or CO2 enough to flood the house, but then youd need ready access to scbu equipment to fight spot fires and open any number of 100 pound CO2 tanks, which should have down tubes installed for maximum CO2 FLOOD dispersal.

ofcourse if if you have an adequate supply of water, a pool, a cystern and a propane powered water pumping system and spray directed at the house with which you could spray over your house that would also increase odds of defeating house fire be it from any fire threat.

You need to execute the refrigerator back up plan.
Most people store food long term in the fridge.
You could keep a bag of ice in there to slow the thaw while the DOORS ARE SHUT.

I'd start by taping black plastic over my windows so my neighbors don't wonder how I'm the only one in the neighborhood with lights.

Then after I got done filling everything with water I'd put a crude "there's nothing here worth dying for" sign in the front yard.

Then I'd move on to the nifty surprises those who didn't heed the warning would be receiving. I'm not in the best location to defend my home but I'd sure try. Ideally I would grab the important stuff and head to my brother's farm if I had an hour or so advance notice.

If you're a mile from the interstate... don't forget that the interstate is a mile from you!
