With the accreditation, ADCMC has joined a distinguished list of global
organisations recognised by DRI International since its founding in 1988. The

centre obtained the accreditation following an evaluation of its institutional
maturity in the specialised field. The evaluation included an extensive review
of key documents to ensure their alignment with ADCMC’s objectives,
responsibilities and future goals. The assessment covered a wide range of
operational documents and procedures, including evaluation procedures,

planning and testing awareness training plans, a crisis communication plan,
incident and emergency management plans, as well as other relevant
operational documents and procedures.

The REAP accreditation strengthens ADCMC’s capacity to respond promptly
and effectively to emergencies, crises, and disasters, in line with global

benchmarks in managing crises. To ensure the enhancement of institutional
resilience, the accreditation process incorporated a range of international
benchmarks used in the comprehensive evaluation of the centre within the
emergencies, crises, and disasters ecosystem.

His Excellency Staff Major General Pilot Faris Khalaf Al Mazrouei, Commander-

in-Chief of Abu Dhabi Police (AD Police) and Chairman of the Emergency,
Crises and Disaster Management Team, said: “Obtaining the international
accreditation reflects our forward-thinking vision to establish and enhance a
comprehensive system that streamlines the management of emergencies,

crises, and disasters, being completely prepared while adhering to best
international benchmarks. It further reinforces our commitment towards
ensuring future preparedness, which is in line with the ambitious vision of our
wise leadership, further positioning Abu Dhabi as an ideal emirate that can

address upcoming challenges or crises efficiently. At ADCMC, we seek to
garner more trust and leadership in local and regional levels in mitigating
complex situations.”

His Excellency Al Mazrouei further stated that the prominent recognition for
ADCMC highlights its efforts to further develop and innovate in its field and

work, further enhancing the centre’s capability to maintain safety and stability
among the community regardless of the situation.
