Executive Order -- Coordinating

Efforts to Prepare the Nation for

Space Weather Events
EXECUTIVE ORDER
------COORDINATING EFFORTS TO PREPARE
THE NATION FOR SPACE WEATHER EVENTS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of
the United States of America, and to prepare the Nation for space weather
events, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. Space weather events, in the form of solar flares, solar
energetic particles, and geomagnetic disturbances, occur regularly, some with
measurable effects on critical infrastructure systems and technologies, such as
the Global Positioning System (GPS), satellite operations and communication,
aviation, and the electrical power grid. Extreme space weather events -- those
that could significantly degrade critical infrastructure -- could disable large
portions of the electrical power grid, resulting in cascading failures that would
affect key services such as water supply, healthcare, and transportation.
Space weather has the potential to simultaneously affect and disrupt health
and safety across entire continents. Successfully preparing for space weather
events is an all-of-nation endeavor that requires partnerships across
governments, emergency managers, academia, the media, the insurance
industry, non-profits, and the private sector.
It is the policy of the United States to prepare for space weather events to
minimize the extent of economic loss and human hardship. The Federal
Government must have (1) the capability to predict and detect a space
weather event, (2) the plans and programs necessary to alert the public and
private sectors to enable mitigating actions for an impending space weather
event, (3) the protection and mitigation plans, protocols, and standards
required to reduce risks to critical infrastructure prior to and during a credible
threat, and (4) the ability to respond to and recover from the effects of space
weather. Executive departments and agencies (agencies) must coordinate
their efforts to prepare for the effects of space weather events.

Sec. 2. Objectives. This order defines agency roles and responsibilities and
directs agencies to take specific actions to prepare the Nation for the
hazardous effects of space weather. These activities are to be implemented in
conjunction with those identified in the 2015 National Space Weather Action
Plan (Action Plan) and any subsequent updates. Implementing this order and
the Action Plan will require the Federal Government to work across agencies
and to develop, as appropriate, enhanced and innovative partnerships with
State, tribal, and local governments; academia; non-profits; the private sector;
and international partners. These efforts will enhance national preparedness
and speed the creation of a space-weather-ready Nation.
Sec. 3. Coordination. (a) The Director of the Office of Science and Technology
Policy (OSTP), in consultation with the Assistant to the President for
Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), shall coordinate the development and
