Recorded / implemented
A plan, programme or practice exists. That alone does not show that it worked.
Evidence desk
How good is this proof?
This page is not a systems dashboard. It is a simple check on the sources behind an argument: where they come from, what they can show and where they stop.
The check
Can we name the source, the place and the limit?
If one of those is missing, the claim stays unfinished. If a source changes, the note changes too.
Plain labels
What the evidence words mean here
02
Result seen
A properly scoped study reports an outcome in a named place and time.
03
Mechanism makes sense
The causal idea is credible, but local effectiveness has not been shown.
04
Worth testing
A possible fit, not a promise or a recommendation.
05
Not known yet
A question important enough to keep in public view.

Indian Journal of Extension Education; peer-reviewed comparative and regression-adjustment study · Palakkad and Thrissur, Kerala · Published 2026; 2024 reference year
Result seen: programme-specific estimated labour-livelihood outcome; causal certainty limited. A non-random sample in two paddy districts and model-based adjustment cannot establish a universal causal effect, represent all women, migrant, landless or seasonal workers, assess payment, safety and dignity, measure crop, soil, water or climate outcomes, or predict another labour-bank design or season.
Scientific Reports; peer-reviewed hydrology and crop-model study · Bharathapuzha Basin, especially Palakkad and Alathur blocks, Kerala · 2026; CMIP6 scenario modelling
Mechanism-supported, scenario-modelled risk evidence; not intervention effectiveness. The conditional model uses default rice parameters, constant land-use and management assumptions, outlet-based calibration and no direct modelling of adaptation, groundwater-irrigation dynamics or household behaviour; it is not a plot forecast, observed yield loss, farm-income result or proof that an adaptation works.
Journal of Land and Rural Studies; peer-reviewed empirical association study · Coastal agriculture, Kerala · First published online 2024

Kerala State Disaster Management Authority; public action timeline · Kerala · Accessed 22 September 2026; timeline includes 2010–2026 entries
Documented official heat-action, funding and local-plan activity; value unverified. A timeline and administrative account is not an independent implementation or outcome evaluation. It does not establish that allocations reached local action, plans were completed or rehearsed, messages were understood, workers could adapt, water, shade and health services functioned, or heat illness, death, income loss or inequality was reduced. Exact local status needs direct verification.
Journal of Environmental and Public Health; peer-reviewed pre/post mortality evaluation · Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India · Published 2018; compares 2007–10 with 2014–15
Outcome-supported association for a bundled city heat plan; causal certainty and Kerala transfer unverified. An observational before-and-after study with different heat seasons, rapid city change, possible concurrent confounders and an all-cause mortality outcome. It cannot isolate a component, establish causality, determine effects on workers, women or low-income groups, validate cost-effectiveness, or transfer thresholds, magnitude or implementation needs to humid, rural, coastal or hill Kerala.
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health; peer-reviewed programme-development account · Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India · 2014; 2013 pilot
Documented implementation and mechanism design; value unverified. A programme-development account produced by partners, not an independent impact or equity evaluation, and it predates the later mortality analysis. Its urban, relatively low-humidity municipal-health-system setting cannot prove feasibility, authority, funding, local-knowledge alignment, worker protection or outcomes in Kerala.
Kerala Institute of Local Administration and Kerala State Disaster Management Authority; Kerala LSGD standardised-template order · Kerala local self-government institutions · January 2020; G.O. (MS) No.14/2020/LSGD dated 14 October 2020
Documented statutory planning, participation and annual-plan integration route; value unverified. A 2020 framework and order is not a current audit. It does not establish that every plan or group was formed, representative, trained, funded, updated, data-safe, accessible or usable during an emergency; nor does it demonstrate functioning assets, safe volunteer conditions, service continuity, reduced harm or equitable outcomes. Current authority and plan status need direct local verification.

Kerala State Disaster Management Authority and Kerala Institute of Local Administration; Resilient Kerala Program technical report · Kerala, with Pamba Basin LSGI planning targets · 20 May 2022
Documented technical climate-information input and programme targets; value unverified. A 2022 programme and technical report with model assumptions and stated targets is not evidence that a named local government received, understood or used the information; that plans or exercises were completed; that scores reflect real readiness; or that warnings, services, livelihoods, ecosystems or equity improved. Downscaled projections are not ward observations or operational forecasts.
Kerala State Disaster Management Authority; official guideline and response-plan document · Kerala · 2025
Documented official migrant-inclusive disaster-risk-reduction planning route; value unverified. A guideline is not an implementation audit or outcome evaluation. Publication does not establish multilingual warning reach, safe shelter, wage protection, food, water or health access, data protection, worker representation, grievance access, local-body readiness or reduced harm. The Malayalam PDF requires fluent human review before detailed public quotation or operational reliance.

Government of Kerala and Kerala State Disaster Management Authority with UN, EU and development-partner technical support; post-disaster needs assessment · Kerala · October 2018, assessing August 2018 floods and landslides
Documented historical post-disaster access failures and needs assessment; no current service or intervention effect. A historical post-event assessment drawing on available information and field work is not a current representative survey or causal evaluation. It cannot establish the prevalence of each experience, the performance of every agency or volunteer, current conditions, effects of later guidance, or whether a new inclusion measure works. Do not portray individual workers or communities without consent.
