Introduction.
Space weather impacts in retrospect.
Space weather and society.
Current space weather services infrastructure.
User perspectives on space weather products.
Satisfying space weather user needs.
Future solutions, vulnerabilities, and risks.
Facilitated open audience discussion : the way forward.
As a first step toward determining the socioeconomic impacts of extreme space weather events and addressing the questions of space weather risk assessment and management, a public workshop was held in May 2008. The workshop brought together representatives of industry, the government, and academia to consider both direct and collateral effects of severe space weather events, the current state of the space weather services infrastructure in the United States, the needs of users of space weather data and services, and the ramifications of future technological developments for contemporary society's vulnerability to space weather. The workshop concluded with a discussion of un- or underexplored topics that would yield the greatest benefits in space weather risk management.
