The National Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), The Ministry of Interior (MOI) and The National Centre for Meteorology (NCM) held a media briefing on the adverse weather conditions today.
While residents were aware a storm was luring closer to the emirates, they did not know how severe it would be.
Streets and homes have flooded, leaving some residents without proper shelter.
All parties have been divided into action teams to address any emergencies. NCEMA is currently monitoring the developments in the weather to set plans into place if needed.
The Ministry of Community Development moved 150 people from affected areas to hotel housing units with buses to conduct their transportation. In total 56 buses are on standby in the event of any developments.
The Ministry of Community Development also appointed 3 vital volunteering platforms to organise the process of transferring and serving the affected families:
30 volunteers have been placed at the call centre to communicate with senior citizens in the affected areas and ensure their safety.
40 volunteers have been appointed to help with transportation to transfer people who have been affected.
And finally, 60 volunteers have been appointed to look after families after their transfer to hotel housing units especially families from the categories of senior citizens, children, and families who do not have a breadwinner or need help during the period of emergency accommodation.
