Since our bodies rely on electrical signals to our brain via our nervous system, it's doubtful you would survive an EMP, unless you always wear a grounded suit of armour.

Most living things are pretty transparent to EMP effects beyond an initial flash of light, it's been tested. EMP has no known effect on living organisms. Lot's of other nasty things happen to people but EMP is not one of them.

Electromagnetic Pulses Are the Last Thing You Need to Worry About in a Nuclear Explosion
One of America’s weirdest strategic obsessions won’t go away.

 

The simple solution will be to have the faraday cage be the whole room where the computer system and other electronics are located.
In addition , the better quality slightly older computers already have a fairly tight enclosure. And if you are able to get a military surplus secure computer case, it will be EMP tight as is. That generation of computers was shielded to prevent snooping . I don't recall the name of the program, butit was serious.

TEMPEST. https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/...de-but-running-cables-out.194252/post-1827159

 

THANKS!!! "TEMPEST" is what I was thinking of. A senior moment prevented the recall at the time. Totally shielded and suppressed computer systems and if nothing can get out then probably not much can get in, either.
And the effect of a solar event will be far wider than the effects of a nearby nuclear explosion. And possibly much more powerful as far as the EM portion.
And as for nuclear incidents, presently the greater hazard is some nut-job radical will steal a device and set it off for some demented agenda than some well armed nation.
