Excerpt: “The Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) task force, an interagency group organized under the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), was chartered in November 2014 to develop a national strategy and action plan to enhance national preparedness for space weather events. … On 8–9 May 2024, the United States government held the first-ever end-to-end Space Weather (SWx) Tabletop Exercise (TTX). The SWx TTX provided opportunities for participants to better understand the preparedness and response challenges associated with the threat of an impending space weather event. The TTX was sponsored jointly by NOAA National Satellite, Data, and Information (NESDIS) Office of Space Weather Observations (SWO), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The exercise incorporated federal, state, local, and tribal considerations to improve our nation’s whole-of-government preparedness for space weather events.”
