INTRODUCTION
When a solar storm takes place, it poses a threat to our technology rather than our health.
Technology is always involved in our communication methods and in making our daily lives
more convenient. Therefore, as enlightened beings, we must recognize the risks of solar storms
and work collaboratively on how to effectively manage their dangers to our developments. Solar
storms are made up of three major elements: solar flares, solar proton events, and coronal mass
ejections. Coronal mass ejections can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in a
geomagnetic storm. (Marusek, 2007) Solar storms, specifically solar flares, pose numerous risks,
the most serious of which is a major power outage. When a solar storm hits, ATMs become
inoperable, your phone becomes pretty much useless, aircraft loses navigation due to radar
interference, and the list goes on. As responsible citizens, we must regularly monitor the news
for possible warnings and be mentally prepared and knowledgeable about the do's and don'ts,
which we will discuss in the following sections of our paper. The best way to be ready for any
A. Objectives
The aims of this project “Solar Storm Disaster Management: Preparing for the Unexpected” are
as follows:
1. To disseminate information about solar storms.

B. Planning/Preparation
The purpose of the paper is to develop a proper procedure needed to prepare the right
course of action before or during a solar storm occurs. This type of disaster could be a short-term
or long-term problem, hence why learning various forms of survival techniques are necessary if
Solar storms are a type of space weather that can disrupt power grids, communications,
and navigation systems. They occur when the sun emits a burst of high-energy particles, known
as a solar flare. Solar storms can also cause auroras or northern and southern lights. While solar
storms are not typically harmful to people, they can pose a risk to astronauts and people who
work in high-altitude aircraft. Solar storms can also disrupt power grids and communications
systems.
Here are the things you can do when solar storms happened:
• Make sure you have enough non-perishable food on hand (ex. canned foods, ready to eat
foods, or bread)

• Each individual should have enough water to last three days. So, it's a good idea to stock
• Having adequate cash on hand might be incredibly useful during this sort of situation.
• If you are planning to view the aurora, be aware that solar storms can cause the aurora to

DONT’S
• Don't ignore warnings and alerts from official sources. A solar storm can be a serious
event, and it's important to stay informed and take appropriate action.
• Don't rely solely on electronic devices for communication or navigation. Solar storms
can cause disruptions to electronic systems, so it's important to have backup methods of

negative effects on your health, so it's important to take steps to protect yourself.
power grids, satellite communications, and GPS systems. These can have far-reaching
• Don't ignore the importance of planning and preparation. A solar storm can happen
at any time, so it's important to have a plan in place and to take steps to prepare for the
event in advance.
• Don't ignore the importance of learning about the event, understanding the risks,
and taking appropriate steps to protect yourself, your family and your property. It's
important to be aware of the potential risks and to take steps to minimize them.
Even though Solar Storms are unpredictable, people should still be aware of how to avoid
a situation like this. Solar storms are not a disaster that a country can recover from in a matter of
days, weeks, or even months, hence why it's essential to inform the public about how the
government and researchers are preparing for them. Solar storms can disrupt satellite
communications, cause satellite disorientation, and cause significant damage to the electronic

devices on Earth's spacecraft. Not only do solar storms generate a lot of waves outside the Earth,
it also causes extreme radiation and can deplete the ozone layer among other things. To prevent
this, everyone should be informed about solar storms; individuals must know what to do and
what not to do when a solar storm occurs. People should also refrain from engaging in activities
or doing things that can cause the earth's ozone layer to thin and crack, because it is one of the
layers that provides protection from harmful ultraviolet rays. Researchers continue to work to
improve the prediction or forecasting of the possibility of solar storms so that everyone can be
