No one would be willing to spend for an extreme level black swan event that is not proven to have ever happen. That said, the magnetic field is down 15% since the carrington event. Magnetic poles are moving fast (north to siberia, south outside antartica already) to meet around indonesia. When the sun will go micronova there's little chance electrical systems and the like will survive. Anyway the CME is the least of the worries, consider the earth reacts to such an event in unexepected ways...
