My understanding is that it is most effectively caused
by an above atmosphere explosion?
Still, if you are on the edge of where damage is minimum,
unpowered equipment will survive better than powered up
equipment. Things like unplugging can help if the pulse
source is far enough way.

Distance is everything as it's a inverse square law thing.
If it weren't the sun would have done us in already, though
it does occasionally throw a good one at us like last fall.
