A unique, multi-agency exercise showed how ill-prepared we are for unfavorable space weather.

“The exercise was held from May 8 to 9, 2024, at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and at a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) site in Denver, Colorado.”

Article refers to a PDF of the report it’s based on:
