NDMA and MyGov Launch National Heatwave Awareness Quiz to Educate and Empower Citizens
In an effort to boost public awareness around heatwave preparedness, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in collaboration with MyGov has launched the “Beat the Heat: National Heatwave Awareness Quiz 2025.”
This nationwide initiative invites citizens of all age groups to participate and equip themselves with essential knowledge about heatwaves — including their causes, impact, and life-saving safety measures. The quiz is open to all Indian citizens and is available in both English and Hindi.
About the Initiative
The quiz aims to help citizens understand the growing risk of extreme heat in India and encourages adoption of everyday habits that reduce heat-related illness. With rising temperatures across several regions, this awareness campaign comes at a crucial time.
Participants will face questions covering:
- Symptoms of heatstroke
- Protective actions for vulnerable groups
- Hydration and nutrition tips
- Community-level precautions
- Emergency response and first aid
Why This Quiz Matters
Heatwaves are among the deadliest weather events globally, yet awareness remains low. Through this interactive quiz, the NDMA hopes to empower citizens to respond wisely during extreme heat events and promote long-term heat-resilient behaviour across communities.
By taking the quiz, participants not only test their knowledge but also contribute to building a more informed and prepared India.
