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:

    I would get a case of beer and go to the library and read until the internet was back on. You can’t stop my escapism that easily.

      I think it might take a little longer to get everything back up and running than you’re anticipating. Also what library haven’t they all closed down now?
