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.

I'm very skeptical that this has much at all to do with solar flares vs WW3 EMP blasts.
Evidently, the goal is to have the grid ready for EMP devastations within 120 days from 13 Oct 2016.
I'd bet they intend to light the fuse before then. They have been encouraged by
TWO Congressional research studies to get their act together and solve the problem for
YEARS to no effect. Now they want to solve the problem within 120 days? More than a little curious, if not laughable.
