With increasing solar activity and "new" awareness of the possible detrimental effects worldwide of solar storms, combined with the time delay for a solar event to reach Earth (2-3 days) I believe that a possible rebroadcast of "Solar Weather" ala WWV style, could be a useful educational tool as well as a "timely" prognostication for radio operations around the world.
It would also serve as a "town crier" type service, warning people worldwide of a potential disruptive event. The standardized resource could be WWV or any other agency willing to provide the info on a daily basis. Solar storm activity reports would not depend on internet access or shortwave receivers but a common scanner and any computer. The mission could be re-tasked after the sunspot peak is well passed. Well...just my first thought... there may be others...
