The strategy also reflects a consensus Intelligence Community assessment of the EMP threat posed by our nation\u2019s adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>Electromagnetic incidents caused by an intentional EMP attack or naturally-occurring GMD events, while unlikely, could cause serious damage to the nation\u2019s critical infrastructure, including the electrical grid, communications equipment, and transportation capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>While the strategy is primarily focused on departmental activities, it recognizes the importance of continued close collaboration with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial decision-makers, sector-specific agencies, and private sector critical infrastructure owner-operators. This partnership is essential to help critical infrastructure owners and operators to manage EMP and GMD risk.<\/p>\n<p>The Department is currently developing an accompanying implementation plan, which will include measures that enable DHS to evaluate progress toward addressing identified capability gaps. Together, the strategy and its companion Implementation Plan will improve the Department\u2019s management oversight and optimize resource utilization for our EMP\/GMD protection, response, and recovery activities.<\/p>\n<p>DHS intends to review and update the EMP\/GMD strategy, as needed, and regularly assess the department\u2019s progress on the implementation plan.<\/p>\n<p><u><a
