you need tinfoil....for your head.
It really depends on what you are trying to protect, and against what threat. I have seen some of the posts referencing CME events. Those are no danger to anything that you own.
TEMPEST countermeasures are to protect against eavesdropping, not to protect from an EMP-type nuclear blast.
As for the EMP blast, it really depends on how close it is. It it is nearby, not sure that reasonable protections will do much for you.
What are you trying to shield?

Might be the old R&D lab of NSA. I don't know exactly where it is but a buddy of mine worked there for many years. I worked at their FANX location at BWI and I am pretty sure that building was also a full Faraday cage.
I rarely mention brand names, but in this case I will mention one. BlackBag Technolgies is/was an InQtel funded startup at one time. I develop and teach grad-level mobile device forensics in my part-time gig. I have tested several devices for incoming and outgoing signals from a variety of smartphones. There are some very inexpensive, but poor quality "Faraday" devices on the market (by poor, I mean some signals that should be blocked are not). With such devices, someone could be in the land of the False Negative, a pernicious error and state.
The BlackBag devices have performed well, in my admittedly limited number of experiements.
