A civic body has partnered with an organization to tackle extreme heat. This collaboration is part of a pilot initiative to strengthen preparedness for rising temperatures. The project will receive funding to implement measures protecting citizens from heat stress.

The initiative aims to identify vulnerable areas and populations through heat maps. It also involves establishing cooling shelters. Technical support will be provided for effective planning and fund utilization.

Further details about this initiative are available, including the role of a Centre of Excellence in supporting the project. A significant amount of funding has been allocated to support this effort.
