Advocacy

Design/build, insurance and risk management and the legislature are specific arenas of consequence where LPI advocates establishing national consensus codes that mandate lightning protection and grounding systems.

Within these arenas, Property & Casualty Insurance Carriers exemplify partners we cultivate.

3% to 5% of all commercial insurance claims involve lightning. Lightning damage is a reliably preventable occurrence. Properly designed, installed, inspected and certified lightning protection and grounding systems almost entirely mitigate this clear risk to policyholders and the public. These systems and the professionals who design and install them are easily sourced nationwide.

The case

Lightning is a direct threat to data and security. $1.7 trillion in data was lost in one year alone. People make the best case for lightning protection and grounding systems as code-enforced life-safety systems. Over the last two decades lightning is second only to floods for deadly weather. Nearly 10% of all those struck, die.

The safest place in any lightning event is within a structure protected by a properly designed, installed and inspected lightning protection system. Lightning injury manifests in a variety of life-threatening occurrences. In every instance the property owner is potentially liable. Electronic Infrastructure (EI) is the term we use. No single phrase describes all the systems within a structure dependent upon electrical supply. The consequences of systems failure range from inconvenient to irreparable.

The Connector

Inaugural issue: Launching June 21, 2026 during Lightning Safety Awareness Week

Lightning protection doesn't happen in isolation… and neither should the conversation around it.

The Connector is a new cross-industry publication from the Lightning Protection Institute, bringing together the professionals, perspectives and real-world experience of every discipline that touches a structure. The result is a shared resource where insights from across industries live in one place… sparking conversation, bridging knowledge gaps and unlocking the kind of cross-disciplinary thinking that moves everyone forward.
