The Heat Wave Management Plan aims to establish a comprehensive framework for managing heat waves in Kishtwar District, focusing on preparedness, response, and recovery. This plan seeks to empower Kishtwar to effectively mitigate the impacts of heat waves and enhance the community’s resilience.

To achieve this, a coordinated multi-agency approach is essential for effective district-level management of heat waves. Currently, heat wave issues are addressed primarily at an operational level; however, a strategic approach is necessary. Clear roles and responsibilities must be defined, along with robust strategic monitoring processes.

Additionally, there is a need for greater clarity regarding the triggers for activation and the sharing of data across various systems. Comprehensive mapping and analysis of the extreme heat impacts on the community will further enhance our understanding and response capabilities.
