DON TRUMBULL is an author and a former air carrier president and director of operations. Following a ten-year mission exploring the vulnerability of our U.S. air carriers/supply chains to the catastrophic threat of solar flare/electromagnetic pulse, in 2019 his broader findings inspired a civilian countermeasure system called the SAFE STATE Project. An achievable on-site defense for individuals, communities, and states, the SAFE STATE countermeasure is a low-cost/high-confidence solution to surviving catastrophic events that can destroy America.
