摘要：
A new method to calculate lightning fatality risk is presented. This new method uses GIS software to multiply lightning flash density and population density on a grid and display the results on a map. The method was verified against observed lightning fatalities in the United States and works well with a quadratic regression correlation coefficient as high as 0.864. These lightning fatality risk maps may be useful in helping plan lightning safety initiatives in developing countries.
