SWORM

Pursuant to Executive Order 13744, the SWORM Subcommittee was chartered in 2016 to coordinate Federal Government departments and agencies to meet the goals and objectives specified in the National Space Weather Strategy (NSWS) (October 2015) and the activities defined in the National Space Weather Action Plan (NSWAP) (October 2015). When the follow-on National Space Weather Strategy and Action Plan (this link takes you to a non-SWORM website) was released in 2019, the SWORM Subcommittee became the SWORM IWG, performing essentially the same functions. The IWG also provides space-weather focused input to the National Planning Frameworks called for by Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8): National Preparedness (2011) (this link takes you to a non-SWORM website), the national critical infrastructure resilience initiatives identified in PPD-21: Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (2013), and any other relevant policies.
