Hate to sound cynical, but I bet it will take a modern occurrence of a great #storm in order to be taken seriously.

It's like how many people who've never had their home/car robbed don't have /use alarms vs the opposite.

That said, we do have quite a lot of info to give us a decent warning. IIRC, it takes 3 days at average #solar wind speed for disturbances to hit earth (given they're geo-effective too). Of course, a huge storm would have more power, arriving in 1/3 of the time, but also have precursors (only space based object managers will act on those though).
