Well, at least they're thinking about it...but it's time they get off they're butts and start developing protective systems and backup systems.
I do know that some have researched materials like aluminum, polyethylene plastics and carbon as shielding against electromagnetic events.
I also know that for home use, chicken wire, rabbit cage wire or even a metal file cabinet would provide protection for our computers, cell phones etc...but for those things to work, we need a warning system...which is what suspicious0bservers.org is working on.

Let's hope we and they get it together because with a weakened shield (now at 25% down) even weak solar radiation events can cause havoc.
This is a Real problem...
