The program kicked off at the National Emergency Response Forum “Istijaba”, a nationwide event hopping across emirates this week – Ajman, Fujairah, and ending in Dubai. Think of it as a full-on crash course in being prepared, but on a global level, because the training is backed by top universities and training centers from the US and Europe.

Why it matters
The program is designed to boost coordination, efficiency, and response times, making sure the UAE is ahead of the game when it comes to national emergencies. With specially certified trainers running the show, the initiative promises long-term readiness and a professional edge that’s world-class.
Professor Roberto Mugavero from the European Centre for Disaster Medicine even called it a global model, praising the UAE’s approach to integrating institutions, training talent, and standardizing emergency response. And honestly… we can’t argue with that.
Abu Dhabi isn’t just training people, it’s building a proactive, tech-savvy, super-prepared national system that can tackle anything, anytime. From AI tech to real-world drills, the UAE is clearly sending a message: when it comes to emergency response, they mean business.
So next time you see an ambulance or security team in action, just know… there’s a whole army of 20,000 highly trained pros behind the scenes, keeping the UAE safe!
