Scenario: Japan suffers a great earthquake, a major tsunami, and a catastrophic nuclear meltdown. Telecommunications landlines and cell phone towers are inoperable in northern prefectures. This means that high-frequency (HF) radio becomes the primary means of communication to some affected areas. This also means that 3-hour forecasts of HF availability must be provided by space weather service organizations not affected by the disaster (Figure 1). Questions: How accurate are the HF predictions? How reliable is the service? How available is the information?
