That is a great RF shield and very similar to what is built for just that purpose in many rf/hf facilities. We had similar RF shielded enclosures in our embassies to avoid rf escaping to the outerword, and such enclosures in base facilities where we did repair work on our equipment. If you could be assured that the vault door remained shut during the time of an EMP it would be a very good place to keep emergency equipment. Of course, putting any equipment in a vault, and hooking it up to the outside world thru coax and/or ac lines would invalidate any protection afforded by the steel walls/floor/ceiling. There are filters that would take care of the AC supply, and you could pass the incoming signals thru light pipes, but that still doesnt allow transmission, without the coax.
