If the US federal government says something is a threat — or if they happen to admit that something's a threat — then it's likely much more of a pending alarming situation than the government cares to admit.
Keeping that in mind, the federal government — which include multiple agencies and the military — have relinquished that one huge threat to our very lives is an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP).
Whether it takes place by intent (a nuclear detonation or terrorism) or by chance (EMP destruction caused by a meteorite or comet), an EMP event would no doubt be life altering.
If an event like this were to take place, one major challenge would be transportation. The majority of today's vehicles are reliant on computers and electrical components which translates to if an EMP took place, a vehicle would become hunks of metal, rubber, and plastic.
