The Heat Wave Action Plan has been prepared as there is continuous increase of heat in the month of March to June over the past several years. The District Heat Wave Action Plan, which shall consist of mapping of Heat Wave Preparedness in the district, measures to mitigate it and define the administrative framework for coordination and dissemination of such information to the general public. Samba District has embarked on the path of preparing and publishing a comprehensive Heat Wave Action Plan that shall address all the concerns of Heat Wave. Samba District has been hit by heat wave during March to June over the years. In this context, a dedicated effort has been made by the DDMA, Samba District to prepare a comprehensive Heat Wave Action Plan for the year 2024 under the stewardship of District Administration & UTDMA (Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory Disaster Management Authority). I sincerely wish that this Heat Wave Action Plan for the year 2024 of Samba will assist the Heat Wave Mitigation efforts of the district as a great deal and subsequently reduce the loss of life due to this disaster.
