Lightning safety and injury prevention has been a concern of the AMS and NOAA for many years (www.lightning-safety.noaa.gov). Now that deaths in the United States have reached an all-time low (only 16 in 2017), it is time to turn our efforts to the international front. Collecting and presenting baseline data, improving reporting, testing of methods in other cultures and languages, and investigation disparities or peculiarities that need to be addressed in safety efforts are only some of the topics that could be addressed in this session.
