#52 - Avoidable Deaths Network: Heatwaves

Summary:

This podcast episode explores the International Awareness Day for Avoidable Deaths (IAD4AD) through a discussion with Vishal Pathak from the All India Disaster Mitigation Institute (AIDMI) in Ahmedabad, India. As a member of the Avoidable Deaths Network (ADN), AIDMI focuses on extreme heat as a highly preventable public risk. Vishal shares how Ahmedabad became a leading example through early recognition of heat as a health and disaster issue, strong collaboration with municipal authorities, and the development of a Heat Action Plan. The episode reinforces the campaign’s core message that avoidable deaths are shaped by choices made in advance, not by fate.


The conversation highlights AIDMI’s work with populations most exposed to extreme heat, particularly women-led small businesses and transportation workers. By promoting the use of early heat forecasts, community awareness, and anticipatory action, the campaign aims to help people protect their health, livelihoods, and daily activities before temperatures peak. Rather than a one-day event, IAD4AD is presented as an ongoing process of learning, coordination, and action, encouraging listeners worldwide to share experiences and strengthen local efforts to prevent deaths from extreme heat.


Guest:

  • Mr. Vishal Pathak (All India Disaster Mitigation Institute


Host:

  • Dr. Haris Rahadianto (Lund University, Sweden)
