Eng. Al Rumaithi also noted that the Department of Energy, in partnership with sector
companies, is continuously disseminating important information and instructions through
various media and social media channels, reaching a broad audience. She added:“The use
of modern media enables active public participation and raises awareness of the essential
protocols to follow in emergencies, helping mitigate risks and safeguarding lives and
property.”

Brigadier General Mahmoud Yousef Al Balushi, Director of the Traffic and Patrols
Directorate, emphasised the Directorate's efforts to attain the highest levels of traffic safety
for all road users, as well as Abu Dhabi Police's commitment to working together with
partners to improve driver safety as part of its strategic focus on road security.

He further added that the campaign entails delivering educational lectures and workshops
under councils that emphasise the significance of adhering to the designated speed limits on
Abu Dhabi's highways in the face of hazy and erratic weather conditions like dust, sand
accumulation, or rain. Additionally, he also emphasised how crucial it is to keep a safe
distance and follow the posted speeds on digital road signs, which alert vehicles to reduce
and change speeds under critical weather conditions.

His Excellency Dr. Salem Al Kaabi, Director General of Operations Affairs at the Department
of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), confirmed the Department's readiness to address any
potential impacts of adverse weather conditions in the Emirate. He also emphasized that the
DMT remains steadfast in its responsibilities towards the community, which include
managing roads, ensuring efficient transportation, along with various municipal services. He
stated:“Raising awareness and providing guidance to ensure everyone's safety, while
providing them with the necessary knowledge to deal with the effects of adverse weather,
are fundamental aspects of sound risk mitigation. This re-affirms Abu Dhabi's global
leadership in disaster management, led by the Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster
Management Centre for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, in collaboration with various entities and
organizations.”

In addition to its public awareness efforts, the 'Our Community is Prepared' campaign
includes practical training, such as driving in adverse weather conditions like dense fog and
heavy rain, alongside communication activities and knowledge-sharing sessions to deepen
collective awareness. The campaign will also highlight cutting-edge weather forecasting
technologies, including advanced prediction systems and tools designed to improve
preparedness for unforeseen events.

ADCMC remains dedicated to strengthening collaboration with key government and private
sector partners to develop effective emergency response strategies, ensuring the safety and
protection of lives and property across the Emirate.
