What Countries Are Most At-risk in a Coronal Mass Ejection

There’s been a lot of talk about the occurrence of another Carrington Event, and how it might be much worse if it happened today. The event was caused by a “Coronal Mass Ejection” that took out communications in 1859 America. However, today, not only are we more electricity dependent than ever, in the case of computers, it’s even become an addiction in some cases.

Mother nature does provide a natural defense against the phenomena. Earth’s magnetic field. Although the field does vary in strength by region. Here are the most protected (strongest magnetic field) and the least protected (weakest magnetic field) countries measured in Nanotesla

Most Protected Regions

Canada: 58,000-60,000 Nanotesla

Russia: 50,000-60,000 Nanotesla

Southern New Zealand & Australia: 58,000-60,000 Nanotesla

Least Protected Regions

Southern Brazil: 15,000-25,000 Nanotesla

Uruguay: 20,000 Nanotesla

Paraguay: 22,000 Nanotesla
