Anton Petrov on Geomagnetic Storms
There are lots of links to other videos in the video description.
We should be collecting proper data and those same data collection networks should be used to provide backup communications in the event of major failures of centralised systems See this Nature article: Large regional variability in geomagnetic storm effects in the auroral zone:
A digital society is fragile and vulnerable to space-originated electromagnetic disturbances. Global geomagnetic conditions have been actively monitored since the invention of the magnetometer in 1833. However, regional changes in the magnetic environment have been widely left unstudied because of the sparsity of the observing networks. The Scandinavian Magnetometer Array (SMA) was the densest magnetometer network in history, and it was in operation in Fennoscandia during the International Magnetospheric Study (IMS) in 1976–1979.
