The Climate-Health Digital Adaptation Kit package translates public-health objectives, operational processes, data requirements and interoperability considerations into structured specifications that countries and implementation partners can adapt to their own institutions, systems and legal environments.
The initial package brings together a shared programme framework, a Heat-Health Alert System Digital Adaptation Kit, a Climate and Health Unified Data Digital Adaptation Kit, implementation workbooks and practical demonstrations.

This independent demonstration is provided for technical review, consultation and country adaptation. It is not an official publication or an endorsed implementation. Institutional arrangements, thresholds, standards mappings and country configurations require appropriate review and validation.
Package
The package documents are working drafts prepared for technical review, consultation and country adaptation.
A rapid-read overview of the complete package, its strategic purpose, principal workstreams, deliverables, implementation approach, demonstration assets and proposed project roadmap.

A focused six-month groundtruthing plan using Morocco as an illustrative North African example. It proposes national health-authority engagement and work with a selected hospital or hospital network to test the umbrella, HHAS and CHUD architecture, refine a publishable v1 package and generate credible evidence for a funder report.
An illustrative Wellcome Trust end-of-grant report has also been prepared from the material currently available and previous experience with Wellcome Trust-funded projects and reporting. It is provided only as a working example of how the results, evidence, expenditure and next steps could eventually be presented; all content would require verification and replacement with actual project findings before submission.

The common programme foundation connecting the HHAS and CHUD workstreams. It establishes shared purpose, governance, terminology, methodology, architecture, traceability, country adaptation and validation principles.

A structured implementation package for converting heat-risk evidence into authorised, geographically targeted and actionable health warnings. It covers preparedness, hazard monitoring, health-impact assessment, warning decisions, publication, targeted communication, institutional response, event monitoring, updates, closure and learning.

A governed, software-neutral framework for combining climate, environmental, epidemiological, geographic, population and health-system information for surveillance, preparedness and analysis. It covers source identification, acquisition, validation, transformation, temporal harmonisation, spatial harmonisation, integration, analytical readiness, controlled publication, correction and reuse.

Workbooks
The workbooks convert the narrative package into editable, structured registers. They are intended for technical review, country adaptation, validation and implementation planning.
Programme components, actors, workflows, requirements, HHAS–CHUD crosswalks, country adaptation, risks, validation evidence and change control.

Personas, scenarios, workflows, process steps, data elements, standards mappings, warning logic, schedules, indicators, requirements, traceability, country adaptation and tests.

Demonstrations
The demonstration materials show how the structured package can be used to explore realistic implementation conditions without presenting illustrative configurations as universal recommendations.
The Agara Demonstration
A synthetic end-to-end national demonstration showing how CHUD can prepare governed and harmonised evidence and how HHAS can convert that evidence into reviewed warnings, targeted action, event monitoring, correction and learning.
All institutions, datasets, thresholds, messages and events are illustrative and require country validation.

A concise catalogue of future scenarios designed to test distinctive institutional and implementation pressures, including district-to-national escalation, cross-border events, regional partnerships, financing, federated processing, public–private data partnerships and national scale-up.

Twelve concise evidence-based cases illustrating climate-health governance, partnership, heat-health action, disease surveillance, data integration, financing and transition to sustainable operation.
The cases describe relevant documented practice. They do not imply that the jurisdictions implemented this Digital Adaptation Kit package.

Overview
Climate-health implementation crosses public health, meteorology, emergency management, disease surveillance, digital health, data governance and country operations. The package organises these connected requirements into structured artefacts that can support planning, consultation, system design, procurement, testing and implementation.
Personas, responsibilities, ownership and decision authority.
Scenarios, business processes, exceptions, escalation and fallback.
Data elements, sources, terminology, standards and exchange.
Rules, triggers, timing, dependencies and lifecycle management.
Functional requirements, non-functional requirements and test cases.
Groundtruthing, national configuration, governance and implementation planning.

A recently updated global fact sheet describes extreme heat as a growing environmental and occupational health hazard. It highlights the importance of event intensity and duration, night-time conditions, vulnerability, exposure, infrastructure and health-system preparedness.
