National preparedness, compared against one evidence standard.

Countries are assessed against the same evidence standard. Publication status reflects the strength and completeness of the current national household and space-weather evidence, not a judgment about overall national capability.

Country	Publication status	Household preparedness benchmark	Dedicated space-weather doctrine	Status note
Sweden	Level A · READY	At least 1 week	Partial	Strong national household doctrine and national space-weather risk evidence; household space-weather sequencing is not separately published.
Norway	Level A · READY	1 week	Partial	National risk analysis addresses severe space weather; household preparedness remains general self-preparedness doctrine.
Finland	Level A · READY	At least 72 hours / 3 days	Partial	National risk assessment includes extreme space weather; household doctrine is all-hazards.
Denmark	Level A · READY	3 days	Partial	National risk profile includes solar-storm risk; household doctrine is general crisis preparedness.
Canada	Level A · READY	Minimum 72 hours	Yes	Dedicated federal household space-weather preparedness guidance exists alongside general emergency doctrine.
New Zealand	Level A · READY	3 days or more	Yes	NEMA National Space Weather Response Plan Version 2.0 is the current national hazard-specific response plan; household quantities come from Get Ready.
Japan	Level A · READY	Minimum 3 days; preferably about 1 week	Partial	National extreme-space-weather scenario and monitoring exist; household stockpile guidance remains general disaster doctrine.
United Kingdom	Level B · READY with limitation	A few days	Yes	Dedicated national severe-space-weather strategy and warning capability exist; household duration remains all-hazards and non-numeric.
United States	Level B · READY with limitation	General federal emergency preparedness; no dedicated space-weather duration	Yes	National strategy, implementation, exercise and forecasting evidence are space-weather-specific; household preparedness remains general all-hazards.
Australia	Level C · NOT READY	No verified federal household duration benchmark	Partial	Strong federal warning and infrastructure evidence, but no verified national household doctrine.
China	Level C · NOT READY	No verified national household duration benchmark	Partial	National warning operations and grid evidence exist; no public national household doctrine is established.
South Africa	Level C · NOT READY	No verified national household duration benchmark	Partial	SANSA provides national operational forecasting and warning capability; household doctrine is not established.
Russia	Level C · NOT READY	No verified space-weather household duration benchmark	Partial	Operational geomagnetic forecasting and public outage context exist; no primary national household space-weather doctrine was located.
Indonesia	Level C · NOT READY	Not established	Partial	Government operational and mitigation evidence exists; national household doctrine is not established.
Kenya	Level D · NOT READY	None located	No	Developing monitoring and early-warning capability exists, but public national household evidence is insufficient.
Nigeria	Level D · NOT READY	None located	No	Federal research and forecasting capability exists, but public national household evidence is insufficient.
Egypt	Level D · NOT READY	None located	No	Scientific impact evidence does not establish national citizen-preparedness doctrine.
Thailand	Level D · NOT READY	Not established	Partial	Government roadmap, policy, monitoring and forecasting capability are established; national citizen household doctrine is not.

How to read this index. Level A and Level B countries are eligible for full country pages under the current publication thresholds. Level C countries have useful operational, research or infrastructure evidence but insufficient national household doctrine for a full page. Level D countries do not yet have enough public evidence for a defensible national household page.

“Dedicated space-weather doctrine” describes whether the current project evidence includes a dedicated national strategy, plan or household guidance for space weather. “Partial” means relevant national space-weather risk, warning, roadmap, scenario or operational evidence exists without a complete dedicated household doctrine.
