ABU DHABI, 30th April, 2025 (WAM) -- The Emergencies, Crises, and Disasters Management Centre
- Abu Dhabi (ADCMC) has concluded the annual Business Continuity and Alternative National
Service Forum - Murona.

The event was held in the presence of Major General Ahmed Saif bin Zaitoon Al Muhairi Chairman of
ADCMC and Abu Dhabi Police Commander-in-Chief, along with a number of dignitaries and
officials from government entities that brought together public and private sector entities to elevate
crisis management capabilities across the emirate.

On the opening day, the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Business Continuity Standard was launched in
partnership with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi. This healthcare-focused standard, a global
first, is part of a series of continuity management standards set to be introduced for all critical
activities in Abu Dhabi to enhance resilience.

The first day also marked the graduation of 129 recruits from three cohorts of the Alternative
National Service Program.

The forum further featured discussions on best practices and strategies for ensuring business
continuity. Experts and professionals shared their insights and experiences, contributing to a rich
exchange of knowledge. Additionally, 21 local organisations that effectively activated the
Alternative National Service Program were honoured. In addition to honouring 10 local entities that
completed the requirements for compliance with the National Business Continuity Standard in Abu
Dhabi.

Matar Saeed Al Nuaimi, Director General of ADCMC, emphasised ADCMC's commitment to
strengthening and maintaining Abu Dhabi's preparedness, in line with the emirate's vision to
position itself as a leading model in emergency, crisis, and disaster management.

He also highlighted the centre's dedication to ensuring compliance with the National Standard for
Business Continuity Management System by conducting comprehensive audits and verifications.
This approach enables it to identify and resolve any non-compliance issues, ultimately enhancing
the emirate's resilience.

Al Nuaimi said, "The forum brought together government entities and companies to share
knowledge, experiences, and best practices in crisis management. By leveraging past successes
and the lessons learned, participants were able to derive innovative and effective strategies. This
approach not only enhances procedures but also fosters deeper cooperation among all
stakeholders.
