The purpose of the US National Space Weather Program is to focus research on the needs of the affected commercial and military communities, to connect the research and user communities, to create coordination between operational data centers, and to better define user community needs. NOAA operates the National Weather Service's [[Space Weather Prediction Center]].<ref>[https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ NOAA/NWS Space Weather Prediction Center - Homepage]</ref>

The concept was turned into an action plan in 2000,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ofcm.gov/nswp-ip/pdf/nswpip.pdf |title=The National Space Weather Program: Strategic Plan, Implementation Plan and Space Weather Architecture Transition Plan and Report of the Assessment Committee for the NSWP |publisher=Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology |year=2000 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030417130810/http://www.ofcm.gov/nswp-ip/pdf/nswpip.pdf |archive-date=2003-04-17 }}</ref> an implementation plan in 2002, an assessment in 2006<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.nswp.gov/nswp_acreport0706.pdf|title = Report of the Assessment Committee for the National Space Weather Program|date = 2006|access-date = July 24, 2015|publisher = Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160303185726/http://www.nswp.gov/nswp_acreport0706.pdf|archive-date = March 3, 2016}}</ref> and a revised strategic plan in 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|title = 2010 National Space Weather Program Strategic Plan|url = http://www.ofcm.gov/nswp-sp/fcm-p30.htm|website = www.ofcm.gov|access-date = 2015-07-24|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140404153245/http://www.ofcm.gov/nswp-sp/fcm-p30.htm|archive-date = 2014-04-04}}</ref> A revised action plan was scheduled to be released in 2011 followed by a revised implementation plan in 2012.

=== ICAO Space Weather Advisory ===
[[International Civil Aviation Organization]] (ICAO) implemented a Space Weather Advisory program in late 2019. Under this program, ICAO designated four global space weather service providers:<ref>{{Cite AWH|chapter=26|page=29|year=2024}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>
* The United States, which is done by the [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] (NOAA) [[Space Weather Prediction Center]].
* The Australia, Canada, France, and Japan (ACFJ) consortium, comprising space weather agencies from Australia, Canada, France, and Japan.
* The Pan-European Consortium for Aviation Space Weather User Services (PECASUS), comprising space weather agencies from Finland (lead), Belgium, the United Kingdom, Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Austria, and Cyprus.
* The China-Russian Federation Consortium (CRC) comprising space weather agencies from China and the Russian Federation.
