For instance the Geophysical Institute provides an Aurora Alert mailing list and forums. It is designed to alert people living in southern Canada and mainland United States when solar conditions are such that an aurora may be viewable in their area. Sign up for the Aurora Alert mailing list at http://www.gi.alaska.edu/mailman/listinfo/gse-aa and visit the Aurora Alerts Forums to discuss the aurora with other interested people.
