Abu Dhabi: The ‘Our Community is Prepared’ campaign, was launched by
the Emergencies, Crises, and Disasters Management Centre – Abu Dhabi

(ADCMC) in collaboration with key partners, aligns with the UAE President
His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s declaration of 2025

as the ‘Year of the Community.’

This initiative aims to bolster emergency preparedness across Abu Dhabi,
raise public awareness about potential risks, and educate residents on

crucial safety measures during crises.

The campaign targets communities across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra,

reinforcing the emirate’s commitment to social responsibility, public safety,
and sustainable resource management. It seeks to foster a culture of

preparedness and engagement, ensuring a coordinated response to
emergencies and disasters.

In its first phase, implemented in partnership with Abu Dhabi Police, the

Department of Energy, and the Department of Municipalities and Transport
(DMT), the campaign focuses on extreme weather conditions.

It highlights preventive measures, educates the public on weather-related

hazards such as thunderstorms, dust storms, heavy rain, and flooding, and

promotes accurate information dissemination to mitigate risks. Additionally,
it raises awareness about climate change and its impact on public safety.

Educational sessions and practical training—including guidance on driving

in challenging weather conditions—are integral to the campaign. These
efforts aim to equip community members with the necessary knowledge to

respond effectively to environmental hazards and disasters.
