| Video Discription | In May 2010, a deadly heat wave hit the city of Ahmedabad in Western India. Temperatures soared to 46.8°C (116°F), causing thousands of people to suffer from heat exhaustion, dehydration, and other heat-related illnesses -- including a spike in heat-related deaths. With climate change fueling more intense and frequent heat waves in India, the local government recognized the need for a new scale of coordinated action to protect local communities from the dangerous health effects of heat stress. NRDC teamed up with the Indian Institute of Public Health and the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, along with a coalition of academic, health and environmental groups, to create a Heat Action Plan in 2013--the first ever early warning system and heat preparedness plan implemented in South Asia, to protect vulnerable communities from the dangers of extreme heat.
