This Lightning Injury Research Program website was developed by Dr. Mary Ann Cooper of the University of Illinois to serve as an educational resource for physicians, lightning strike survivors, teachers, outdoor activities organizers, and other interested parties. In addition to a lightning injury overview, this site provides information sections on Acute Treatment, Lightning Injury Distribution, Psychological Impact, Safety Guidelines, and more. The website also links to downloadable publications, related websites, and a Lightning Injury Support Group. Site visitors can link to the National Weather Service’s Lightning Safety website as well.
