While modern civilization as we know it will come to an end, that does not mean we are completely and irrevocably doomed. There will be a learning curve, some will not make it or want to live the hard life we expect, but for those of us who are strong and have been prepping there will be life and expectation – and we can teach others who are willing to learn!

By definition, a non-prepper has not prepared and therefore likely does not possess the mindset, knowledge, or skills to survive an EMP catastrophe.
That said, a non-prepper’s best bet is to realize and accept the situation for what it is (most will not be able to come to grips with this) and to begin a rapid and honest assessment of their present situation.
It may be initially difficult to even know that ‘the event’ was an EMP for a non-prepper because most non-prepper’s don’t even know what an EMP is or what the symptoms may be. Presuming though that this particular non-prepper knows that an EMP has just brought down our modern high-tech civilization, then hopefully this person also knows that the likelihood of survival for most will be grim.
What should the non-prepper do at this point? If they’re lucky they will have a willing prepper friend that will accept them into their group. This however may be unlikely, depending on the variables of the situation (what type of person the ‘non-prepper’ is, their assets, what they can or cannot do to help the group, etc..). There will be many preppers who will not accept a non-prepper into their group after the event. This will vary of course, but don’t count on it.
Hint: Most farmers are themselves preppers of a sort, even though they may not call themselves preppers. Do you have a relative or friend on a farm? Sounds like a better place to be than suburbia… although there will soon be security issues as that farm…
That said, a non-prepper will be pretty much in VERY deep trouble in this scenario. Priorities will be acquiring a source of drinking water, safe shelter, food, and security.

Again, it does not mean a none prepper is doomed but they better hope they are a quick learner. Everyone’s life will change and the few scraps man will come about while bugging out or in will not be enough. To learn more go to Modern Survival Blog.

Also, remember that any information you get regarding what is happening around the world will come from word of mouth. There will be no radios or TV to get your information and, for the most part, newspapers will be gone too.

Your best bet is to keep your eyes and ears open – and hope you come across good people who have prepared and are willing to share their knowledge!
