No matter 'where' a sunspot, flare, CME, full-halo CME, ICME, SPE, CIRS, IMF, etc. occurs, they can instantly locate it, determine it's size, magnitude, direction of travel, intercept time with Earth's magnetosphere, and broadcast advisory and warning bulletins to all satellite operators, electric power grid operators, Pilots, ships captains, Military, ect., providing lead times, from minutes, to days, to take appropriate actions to prevent, or minimize effects to their infrastructure and assets.
Virtually all US Federal departments, agencies, and international partners are involved.
One might even call it.... Space Weather.
