If your neighbourhood gets hit by an EMP, where do you think you will get the electricity to run your computer with on which your bitcoins reside(d)?

Agreed. If a nuclear EMP happens your way you're gonna have *plenty* of other things to worry about, like, oooh, WHY IS MY SKIN FALLING OFF?  ?? |

Google Faraday cage,
you can buy little bags or large bags that can protect your Thumbdrives and HHD, SSD or what ever from the end of the world.

Do common metal safes work like faraday cages? If yes, that's a nice 2 for one deal...

presumably, but only if the metal is grounded. |

What? EMPs aren't magic devices that permanently disable electricity by hacking reality... |

They do, in a way. Depending on the material used (specific conductivity, magnetic permeability and thickness) and the severeness of the EMP they protect to a certain degree. |

presumably, but only if the metal is grounded. Grounding is of no concern. |

FWIW, modern data centers have EMP protected walls.
The datacenter where my servers are also has a flywheel UPS for short power outages, and a diesel generator that can supply power up to 4 days for longer ones.

They don't disable electricity but they can fry the stuff that brings electricity into your home
