Press release

"By creating proactive standards and policies, and successfully developing cutting-edge
crisis management systems, the Centre plays a crucial role in improving the Emirate of
Abu Dhabi’s resilience in the event of an emergency. In line with the guidance of our wise
leadership, we move forward at ADCMC by enhancing our crisis response capabilities,
formulating strategic plans that guarantee efficient emergency response, and fortifying the
capacities of specialised teams and empowering them with continued training," His
Excellency added.

For his part, Khalifa Mohammed Obaid Al Kaabi, Head of Exercise Evaluation
Section at ADCMC, explained that "The ‘Training and Exercise System’ has the potential
to save time and reduce manual training, while also improving coordination and
collaboration among diverse stakeholders. Additionally, it makes data and information
easier to access, and allows for faster and more accurate support of scenarios through the
use of simulation tools provided by the ‘Crisis Management Platform.’ By automating
processes, utilising intelligent technologies, and intensifying collaborative exercises, the
system will ultimately increase operational efficiency and improve emergency
responsiveness in an efficient and long-lasting manner.”

The Abu Dhabi Emergencies, Crises and Disasters Management Center (ADCMC) places
a high value on investing in the development of national talents and competencies through
specialised training programs and joint exercises aimed at improving crisis management
skills. These efforts help the Abu Dhabi Emirate achieve its goal of maintaining the highest
levels of public safety and security, while also bolstering community protection.
