The Emergencies, Crises, and Disasters Management Centre Abu Dhabi (ADCMC) has activated the fourth cohort of
the Alternative National Service Programme, deploying 118 new recruits across 11 government entities in Abu Dhabi.

The deployment was conducted in collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Defence, represented by the National Service
and Reserve Authority, alongside the ADCMC.

This initiative is designed to strengthen business continuity within critical institutions and sectors during potential
emergencies, crises and disasters. By equipping personnel with essential skills through targeted preparation,
qualification, and training, the programme ensures that key roles remain operational under challenging circumstances.

With the activation of eight additional entities, a total of 18 government bodies in Abu Dhabi, including ADCMC, are now
part of the programme, with ADCMC recently receiving its first cohort of 20 alternative service recruits. This milestone
marks a strategic advancement toward building an integrated framework that reinforces the emirate's readiness to
manage emergencies, crises and disasters.

The latest move brings the total number of recruits in the programme to 260, as part of a strategy to establish 30 active
agencies across the emirate by early 2025.

The first batch, which was activated in March 2023, included 86 recruits from three government entities. The second
batch, in September 2023, added 15 recruits to two more government entities, while the third batch, in February 2024,
