solar flare



The news says we have a substantial solar flare on the way.  Most represent
minimal radiation (dose) impact at sea level, but several in the past were
observable.
Question: Who looks for this data and where is it likely to be posted?  NASA?
Any indication that the high altitude flyers, e.g., the Concorde, are
taking preventive measures?
