Lightning safety scheme for sheltering structures in low-income societies and problematic environments

This paper discusses various practical difficulties of implementing internationally and nationally recognized lightning protection standards on small shelters. In aiming to minimize human injuries and deaths due to lightning related accidents for people who take shelter in unprotected structures dur...
