Lightning frequencies have increased recently to an alarming way during the monsoon and summer periods in Bangladesh. As a result it has to accept an annual average death toll of 200-300 people from the lethal lightning strikes in the last decade. Observing the consequences of these lightning causalities, it has been considered as one of the natural disasters since 2016. A secondary data sources have been applied in this study. From observations it found that the northeast regions are mostly affected and farmers and fishermen are the most vulnerable groups to lightning fatalities. The aim of this research to introduce a conceptual model to build lightning awareness to combat lightning fatalities in Bangladesh. This policymakers of Bangladesh could think seriously how to implement this lightning awareness building effectively diminishing the enormous causalities.
