3. Begin preparing national electrical grids for the potential impact of severe space weather

4. Begin a campaign of educating the public about the risks associated with severe space weather and what preventative measures are being taken

5. Organize an ongoing series of public discussion forums (both internet based and face to face) on the issue of severe space weather, aimed at all levels of government, corporate, NGO's and the public.
