Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has advised residents in Dubai to take proactive measures in preparation for the rainy season. With increasing rainfall expected due to climate changes, these precautions aim to minimize disruptions and ensure safety across the city.
6 Key Precautionary Steps for Residents
- Clear drains regularly to prevent blockages and waterlogging.
- Secure outdoor items to avoid damage or hazards caused by strong winds and rain.
- Prepare emergency kits that include essentials for quick access during adverse weather conditions.
- Check electrical equipment to ensure they are safe and functional, reducing risk of electrical faults.
- Stay informed by monitoring official weather updates from DEWA and other authorities.
- Report issues promptly such as flooding, power outages, or water leaks to DEWA to receive timely assistance.
This call to action follows a recent community prayer for rain led by Muslim residents in response to directives from UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, reflecting the cultural significance and community spirit in facing weather challenges.
By adhering to these guidelines, residents can help reduce the risks of flooding, damage to property, and interruptions in utility services. Protecting homes and families against heavy rains is a collective responsibility that benefits the entire community.
