Findings on Planetary Defense cause for concern

[The One]

NASA’s search for near earth objects (NEO) has discovered at least 87% of the large asteroids whose impacts could pose a global threat to our civilization. None pose a credible threat of a collision with Earth for the foreseeable future. But the discovery rate of the much more numerous smaller NEOs, representing a regional or local impact hazard, will soon confront us with objects presenting worrisome but uncertain probabilities for a future collision with Earth. Such situations will appear more frequently as the discovery rate increases, and the nation presently has no clear policy on how to address such a situation

How concerning is that the nation presently has no clear policy on how to address such a situation.Are they just going to keep quite.Rest of the document in link below
