The MoUs aim to enhance the emirate’s readiness and strengthen the efficiency and resilience of
its emergency response systems.

H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed said that the strategic partnerships reflect a strong spirit of
collaboration between local, federal, and academic institutions, guided by the vision of His
Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of
Dubai, to position Dubai as a global model for resilience, one that turns challenges into
opportunities, and drives a sustainable future.

H.H. Sheikh Mansoor noted that the city’s readiness stems from long-term planning, institutional
integration, and investment in national talent. He also said that resilience extends beyond crisis
management to anticipating future changes, adapting to global trends, and continuously enhancing
systems to safeguard development and national achievements.

The MoUs seek to unify efforts and promote institutional integration among national entities by
developing cooperation in crisis and disaster preparedness, building human capacity, sharing data
and information, and conducting joint studies and research. These efforts will support decision-
making and improve response efficiency at both operational and strategic levels.

The MoU with Dubai Land Department aims to strengthen cooperation in developing resilience
standards for the real estate sector and enhancing operational readiness through digital system
integration and risk-related data exchange, along with sustainable urban planning.

The MoU with the National Center of Meteorology focuses on collaboration in early warning
systems, analysis of meteorological and climate risks, and the exchange of technical expertise and
data to enable faster and more effective responses.

The MoU with Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University establishes a partnership to launch a
‘Resilience Diploma’, and to design and implement specialised academic and training programmes
in resilience, crisis management, artificial intelligence, and climate change, alongside joint
research initiatives to support future policy-making.

The Dubai Resilience Centre will continue broadening its strategic partnerships across government,
academic, and private sectors, reinforcing Dubai’s role as a global leader in developing resilient and
sustainable systems that can effectively navigate crises and pave the way for a safer, more stable
future.

The agreements were signed in the presence of Omar Bushahab, Director- General of the Dubai
Land Department; Dr Abdullah Ahmed Al Mandous, Director-General of the National Center of
Meteorology; Dr Mansoor Al Awar, Chancellor of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University; and
Ahmed Ateeq Bourguiba, CEO of the Dubai Resilience Centre.
