Weather stabilises, focus now on recovery

The Ministry of Interior, in coordination with the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, the National Centre of Meteorology and strategic partners, announced the end of weather fluctuations that brought UAE’s heaviest rains on record.

In a social media post yesterday, the ministry said that after the downpours receded — and cloud cover started clearing from yesterday morning onwards — the weather conditions have gradually improved.

Field work teams from civil defence, ambulance, police and other departments will continue their efforts to ensure full recovery and a return to normal life in all affected areas, the ministry added.

Praise for field teams

MoI highlighted the efforts of the field teams that worked in a preventive manner and said they would continue to do so until full recovery.

The Supreme Committee for Internal Security remained in constant session during the weather conditions to ensure rapid response and guarantee business continuity. All emergency response teams, including the civil defence, ambulance, rescue and Police patrol will continue to work to secure roads and areas with fast-moving streams, valleys and dam exits. The teams are working to manage traffic and clear the rainwater until full restoration of normal life in all civil facilities.

The Ministry appreciated the role of the concerned authorities in dealing with the weather fluctuations, highlighting their contribution in protecting life and property.

The Ministry praised the public’s sense of social responsibility, and for putting their trust in government bodies to deal with the emergency weather conditions.

Emphasis was laid on the importance of continuing to adhere to the instructions issued by the official authorities and staying clear of stream valleys and water accumulations.
