People will soon be wearing watches that warn of solar storm strikes, which would result in likely power blackouts, stated space storm experts at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington DC.  This would allow them to shut down any critical systems.

The Sun’s 11-year rotation of activity will be at its violent peak this year and US officials are "anticipating a higher frequency of more severe storms this year." Gary Heckman from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted, "Everyone will have their own wireless wrist display to get forecasts of space weather."

Development of these watches is already underway for astronauts’ use during spacewalks to detect increase in cancer risk.
