NATIONAL SPACE WEATHER ACTION PLAN

www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/final_nationalspaceweatheractionplan_20151028.pdf

Space-weather events are naturally occurring phenomena that have the potential to disrupt electric power systems; satellite, aircraft, and spacecraft operations; telecommunications; position, navigation, and timing services; and other technologies and infrastructures that contribute to the Nation’s security and economic vitality. These critical infrastructures make up a diverse, complex, interdependent system of systems in which a failure of one could cascade to another. Given the importance of reliable electric power and space-based assets, it is essential that the United States has the ability to protect, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the potentially devastating effects of space weather.

which gives you an opportunity to prep for what they don't

Interesting document.

Page 10

1.2 Develop Benchmarks for Ionizing Radiation.......
An occurrence frequency of 1 in 100 years;
and an intensity level at the theoretical maximum for the event.

Now thats odd. Hard science not 'consensus science' has already been established on that except for one thing. No documents publically available anywhere mention a specific frequency of incident. There are docs that list a range and probability.

Have they learned something they do not want the public knowing?

What strange bedfellows. Postal service? And what a disappointment for the norm. All those agencies and people and only a 44 page report. I bet it didn't take more than 100 meetings over a 14 month period to produce it
