EAG 2018 London: Loss of industrial civilization and recovery

A powerful electromagnetic pulse could leave large portions of the globe without electricity. A major volcanic eruption — or nuclear winter — could place major strains on modern agriculture. As a civilization, are we prepared to handle challenges of this magnitude? And if not, can we become prepared? This workshop from EA Global 2018: London, led by David Denkenberger of ALLFED, deals with these questions.
