src-d7cbf5a1f5777271Carries the 2010 death toll and the peak temperature. Verbatim: '4,462 all-cause deaths occurred, comprising an excess of 1,344 all-cause deaths', 'an estimated 43.1% increase when compared to the reference period', and 'the temperatures reached a high of 46.8°C'. NOTE for future editors: the widely quoted '4,462 deaths' is the total for May 2010, NOT the excess — the excess is 1,344.
src-160b5cacddf8f27bDevelopment and implementation of the plan; the paper's own title describes it as 'South Asia's First Heat-Health Action Plan', which is why the entry attributes the superlative to the literature rather than asserting it.
src-37cedc22896871e7Carries the alert thresholds and the mortality result. Verbatim: yellow alert 'forecasted Tmax 41–42.9°C', orange '43–44.9°C', red 'forecasted Tmax of 45°C or higher'; 'RR of 2.34 (95% CI 1.98–2.76)' pre-HAP versus 'RR of 1.25 (1.02–1.53)' post-HAP; 'An estimated 1,190 (95%CI 162–2,218) average annualized deaths were avoided in the post-HAP period'. A nodal officer in the city health department coordinates the alerts.
