Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-ee2c9e8767399d12 quantitative
the all-cause mortality rate ratio at 47°C fell from 2.34 (95% CI 1.98–2.76) before the plan to 1.25 (95% CI 1.02–1.53) after it, estimating 1,190 (95% CI 162–2,218) annualised deaths avoided

What the mapping says
The paper is the pre/post evaluation the entry rests on: it compares heat-related mortality in 2007–2010 against 2014–2015 and reports both rate ratios and an annualised estimate of deaths avoided.
Caveat
An ecological pre/post design cannot separate the plan from everything else that changed over those years, and the authors describe it as a pilot evaluation rather than a causal estimate.

Carries 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.

Development 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.

Carries 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.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
