What If US Electrical Grid Collapses ? What Do You Do ?

There is a such thing as a SUITCASE EMP. Terrorists, or sabateours sent from enemy countries, could unleash an EMP attack, from a suitcase. This could knock out power indefinitely (months) over an entire large city (ex. New York)

What are our illustrious leaders doing to protect us from this ?

Interesting, thanks.
Here's another interesting/informative read on your topic.

From your Wikipedia link >> "At the moment, the United States lacks preparation against an EMP attack."

This is startling, especially since other countries are known to have defenses. If "our" government isn't taking action to to protect us from this menace, what in the world ARE they doing ?

If you noticed on the read, a citation was lacking regarding that comment.
There's some good info on what is actually being done in case of an EMP attack on the link.

Related to this effort, FEMA manages the Emergency Alert System to notify the American public in the event of a national emergency, such as an impending EMP event. FEMA has designed and built EMP-hardened communications facilities to include Primary Entry Point stations which help to ensure the ability for the president to communicate with the nation in an emergency, to include preparation for, and response to, EMP events.4 FEMA will continue to enhance EMP hardening of key facilities, validating their effectiveness against emerging threats like EMP and radio frequency weapons attacks. FEMA is developing an interagency EMP exercise to be conducted in fiscal year 2021. The exercise will address the unique, widespread, cross-sector effects of an EMP event and challenge planning assumptions used by federal planners when considering EMP actions. Since 2016, CISA and its predecessor organizations have promulgated Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Protection and Resilience Guidelines for Critical Infrastructure and Equipment for government and industry for mitigating the effects of EMP attacks on critical equipment and facilities. The Department is actively updating the EMP guidelines and anticipates reissuing in fiscal year 2020. IV. Partnering with the Private Sector and Other Federal Departments The Department’s priority for EMP resilience of critical infrastructure is energy and communications infrastructure. DHS and DOE have partnered to ensure unity of effort and efficient use of federal resources. One example of the collaboration is a partnership between DHS, DOE, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to validate the continued operation of key safety features of nuclear power plants in a post-EMP environment. This effort started in March of 2020 and will be completed in late 2021.

With all due respect, and I do respect you Addy, this large paragraph looks like an exercise in talking, while saying nothing. It's all very general, with nothing really specific about what is being done.

What about power grid brownouts that have already been occuring in Texas and California ? And couldn't the Chinese spy balloon easily have been an EMP attack ? We didn't hear about that thing until it was already over US land. Not only did we not get any warning, Biden let the thing fly over the whole US, with nobody knowing what it was doing.
Maybe it was a test run for the real EMP coming soon. Biden's unwillingness to oppose China in any way is chilling. Now he has thrown Taiwan under the bus, after 70+ years of support for the Taiwanese. Mind boggling.

The PDF had quite a bit of info on it. I chose one page from it. Steps to implement solutions/ prevent failures are being carried out as the read indicates.

“EMP attacks are part of the emerging threats against our nation and demand a response,” said Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli. “That is why DHS is taking these contingencies very seriously, working diligently to mitigate our risks and equipping our state and local partners with the resources they need to do the same. We’ve made significant progress and look forward to the work ahead.”

“As the Nation’s risk advisor, one of CISA’s priorities is understanding and mitigating threats associated with EMPs,” said CISA Director Chris Krebs. “Over the past year, we have worked with interagency and industry partners to identify the footprint and effects of EMP threats across our National Critical Functions, and are developing sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective approaches to improving the Nation’s resilience to EMPs.”

In 2018, DHS released the Strategy for Protecting and Preparing the Homeland against Threats from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) and Geomagnetic Disturbance (GMD), which was the Department’s first articulation of a holistic, long-term, partnership-based approach to protecting critical infrastructure and preparing to respond and recover from potentially catastrophic electromagnetic incidents.
