Table 1

All-cause mortality incidence rates (deaths per 100,000 population-years, with 95% CIs) for the pre- and post-HAP periods for the categories of any warning, yellow warning, orange warning, and red warning, respectively, as well as incidence rate ratios comparing post-HAP to pre-HAP IRs and 95% CIs.

PeriodAny warning (>40°C)Yellow warning (41–42.9°C)Orange warning (43–44.9°C)Red warning (≥45°C)
