(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Abu Dhabi, UAE, 09 December 2024:
The Emergencies, Crises and Disasters Management Centre - Abu Dhabi (ADCMC) has
achieved a major milestone in institutional resilience, receiving accreditation from the
Disaster Recovery Institute International (DRI International). This makes ADCMC the world’s
first specialised emergency management centre to secure this prestigious recognition,
placing it among a select group of only three global organisations awarded this certification
each year by DRI International.

With this accreditation, ADCMC has joined a distinguished list of global organisations
recognised by DRI International since its founding in 1988. The Centre obtained this
accreditation following an optimal evaluation of its institutional maturity in the specialised
field. This evaluation included an extensive review of key documents to ensure their
alignment with the Centre’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, crisis communication plan,
incident and emergency management plans, among other relevant operational documents
and procedures.

This accreditation strengthens the Centre’s capacity to respond promptly and effectively to
emergencies, crises, and disasters, in line with the 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.
