Solar storms at the Carrington level and stronger are not rare. When they hit the earth they affect the ground enough to leave evidence behind. Based on this we have been able to identify multiple similar events prior to the Carrington event, some of them even stronger.

The need to protect against this has been publicized over and over. There seems to be no scientific dispute about the threat, and that the consequences would be quite severe.

A small number of politicians have done some public hand wringing about it, but so far nothing has been done.

How could we be protected from this, what would have to be done?

I want to know more about this. Where should I look?

Au contraire! The IRS has reams and reams of detailed COOP plans for collecting taxes in the event of several kinds of disasters.
