This lesson explored the following points in greater detail:
Space weather products describe the conditions on the Sun, on Earth, and within Earth’s immediate environment that impact our communication, navigation, aviation, satellites, and electric power grids.
Space weather services are provided by a network of worldwide centers.
The WMO Inter-Programme Coordination Team on Space Weather 
and the International Space Environment Service (ISES) are collaborative networks of space weather service-providing organizations that offer global space weather services.
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC)
is one example of a space weather prediction center.
The services available from the global centers are a resource that can be used to develop services for your local customers. By understanding the needs of users in your region and by being familiar with the products and services already available, you can begin to develop a service capability tailored to your local needs.
The services you provide can range from explaining basic space weather concepts to general customers to providing scale-based warnings to experienced professionals. You should take time to survey, analyze, and interview local populations to discover what services to offer.
