WORK PACKAGES (WPs)
WP1, EXPOSURE METRICS:
Our first WP will consist of creating a uniform exposure metric for diarrheal disease risk and extreme weather events (heat and precipitation).
WP2, UNDERSTANDING ENSO:
Completion of our second WP will allow us to understand the relationship between the different phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the frequency of extreme heat and extreme precipitation events. This relationship will be assessed at the sub-national levels to understand how the relationship varies by geographic location and season.
WP3, DIARRHEAL DISEASE DATABASE:
Our third WP includes collecting historical diarrheal disease data from the focus area to allow for region-wide assessment of diarrheal disease risk.
WP4, EXPOSURE-RESPONSE FUNCTION:
Our fourth WP will characterize the relationship between extreme weather events and diarrheal disease risk at the sub-national level to assess the impact of geographic and socio-demographic factors on disease risk.
WP5, EARLY WARNING SYSTEM:
Our final WP is the completed early warning system, which provides diarrheal disease risk maps at the sub-national level with an S2S lead time.
