FWIW, EMP only affects modern electronic devices with clock crystals, not all electrical devices. Older cars, most smaller generators, basic refrigerators, most lighting, etc would be unaffected. Basically anything with a chip in it is vulnerable. I wouldn't worry about it; a pandemic plague is much more likely, but then again, so is drowning in your own bathtub!
