What’s Helpful EMP Hardening Of Electronic Hardware?
kavekarst asked:
Has reader installed any electro-magnetic pulse protection
on personal property that generates an electrical field?
Have read that 2 air burst nuclear weapons over width of
USA would generate EMP sufficient to make anything that
projects an electrical fiels inoperable. Also read that lead
was a protective metal. So, how much lead plate do I need to house my home electronics and private vehicle engine ? Assume the military has universial standards for hardening equipment regarding EMP so is information unclassified?

You don’t need lead. Lead is nice for radiation, but it would be an expensive Faraday or EMP shield.
Any conductive material (aluminum foil, chicken wire, copper mesh, etc) will protect your electronics if it surrounds them and is properly grounded (connected to earth). It would also keep your radio/ cell phone from operating, so the utility is rather dubious.
