ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has conducted a tabletop exercise that explored
possible responses to red tide and fish kill events in coordination with the Emergencies, Crises and
Disaster Management Centre Abu Dhabi (NCEMA).

The exercise gathered a total of 16 Abu Dhabi Government entities to test their readiness to
confront and respond quickly and effectively to threats and emergencies caused by the risk of red
tide and fish kills in the emirate.

Director of the Emergency, Safety and Business Continuity Office at EAD, Khaled Mohammed Al
Hajri, said, "The EAD is the leading entity regarding the risk of red tide and fish kills based on the
emirate’s local risk register – an integral part of the integrated system for emergency, crisis and
disaster management at the local level in Abu Dhabi. This system aims to raise the readiness of the
concerned entities to confront and respond quickly and effectively to emergency situations and
threats of all kinds.”
