Surge Protectors Worldwide for the Electrical Power Grid?

There should be some sort of warning in the event of a CME, so I plan to put my Laptop and a couple of mobile phones into the microwave for a few days, just have to make sure I don't switch it on.

If the CME's are going to be as powerful as predicted I would be more concerned about car electrics, most modern cars have built in computers and if the chips get fried they won't go.

There would be the problem of food distribution to consider here as well? The trucks used for transporting food would be inoperable?

If this is true then food storage would be the remedy?
