ABU DHABI, 12th March, 2025 (WAM) -- The Emergencies, Crisis and Disasters Management Centre
- Abu Dhabi (ADCMC) revealed that 89 government and private companies have successfully met the
compliance requirements for implementing the National Standard for Business Continuity in Abu
Dhabi.

This achievement follows the first and second rounds of external audits conducted by the centre,
which assessed the preparedness of local entities and companies to manage emergencies and their
adherence to the core requirements of the National Standard for Business Continuity.
This move highlights the centre’s dedication to bolstering the emergency preparedness of various
entities across the emirate. By ensuring constant and uninterrupted delivery of essential services
during crises, it aims to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s leadership in emergency and crisis management.

Since 2021, the audit has assessed 90 government entities and companies alongside three private
sector organisations. It was conducted by a team led by the centre’s representative, employees from
the centre and a representative from the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management
Authority.

Shaikha Khamis Al Azeezi, Director of Business Continuity and Alternative Services Department at
ADCMC, said, “The auditing process is a key component of the ADCMC’s strategic approach to
ensure and enhance Abu Dhabi’s preparedness for emergencies and crises. This aligns seamlessly
with the Abu Dhabi government’s commitment to ensure the safety and security of all residents. This
rigorous process evaluates compliance of entities with the local strategic indicator, Entities’
Compliance percentage to Business Continuity Standard.”
