Research helps to identify groups who are most at risk and how to protect them.
Current projects include:
-
Largest publicly available database on lightning incidents by country and year, covering 45 of 55 African countries with more than 1000 reports.
-
When funding allows, we send a trained team to investigate the site, interview survivors and witnesses, and work with local school and government officials, when possible, to plan prevention strategies. See reports of some of the investigations here.

Improving forecasts, educating about lightning incidence
