The Space Weather Prediction Center is expecting a Geomagnetic Storm over the next few days which could create some disturbances with communications equipment, electrical grids and warning systems. This is due to a solar flare that occurred Sunday night. Solar Flares are also expected to increase over the next few months so more of the same could occur down the line. Just giving you all a heads up to see if you want to pass the information along to your people.

For more information, they can monitor the Space Weather Prediction Center website at: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/.

Interesting historical information on solar flares
