A world without electricity sounds like the setting of a summer blockbuster, but electromagnetic events could pose real risks to the national power grid.

Listen to Chris Currie, a director in our Homeland Security and Justice team, share what his team found when it recently reviewed federal efforts to address risks from electromagnetic events.
