Like zombiesI've got better things to worry about.
Though dated (2004) here’s an executive summary of the impact of a catastrophic EMP attack.

They're more worried about a direct overt attack against critical infrastructure, like someone driving a bomb up to a power generation station.Thanks for posting this....long.... but did read......in the 14 years since this report, one would hope they have been actively working on preparedness.......
But know the Feds and politicians, it is entirely possible for politics to muck up the works............

Yes, but where would you ground it? A ground rod needs significant contact with dirt - most are buried four to eight feet. A metal strap dragging on concrete would work more as an antenna than as a ground. On the other hand, a metal enclosure, even a partial enclosure, would guide most of an EM wave around it instead of through it (depending on some topological factors).So a Faraday cage will protect devices from an EMP... Theoretically, can you run a ground strap to your car body and use the metal body panels / structure as a faraday cage for all the electronic goodies inside?
In other words, use the body of the vehicle itself as the faraday cage to protect the ECM, wiring, electronics, etc.

If you're talking about a stationary vehicle, that would be pretty easy and pretty reliable.Yep; that's what I'm talking about... Thinking along the lines of a good RF ground for radio; have an 8 foot ground rod along the edge of the driveway and use a length of braided strap to bond the body of the car to earth ground. I already have the body panels, exhaust, etc on my vehicle "RF bonded" pretty well for mobile HF communications so it would be basically connecting my mobile faraday cage to earth ground...
Just a crazy thought...
