Do you have a physical description of this IS-NEMP-C0??  I mean,
is it like a monsterous plug-strip/wall socket adaptor looking
thing or is it merely a specification for modifying the internal
grounding or fuses in existing hardware???

For instance also, does this apply to portable equipment ?

OH BTW.. wouldn't anything stored in a concrete chamber/a couple of
feet underground be safe from EMPs??   Rather like not being able
to pick-up radio stations when you're in such places???
