Abstract: Lightning is one of the worst natural disasters. Lightning vulnerability is the possibility and state about human social and economic extent of the damage suffered lightning. In this study, based on thunderstorm days, population density, average GDP, river area, height above sea level, terrain undulations degree and annual revenue of each county in Zhejiang, and with analytical hierarchy process (AHP), a model of lighting vulnerability was found. Lightning vulnerability was calculated in each county. Based on each county’s lightning vulnerability, Zhejiang Province was divided into high vulnerability, medium vulnerability and low vulnerability district. This work provided a basis for lightning protection in Zhejiang.
