Dubai recently experienced heavy rains, which led to significant flooding on various roads throughout the city. In response, police and emergency teams stayed active overnight, working diligently to clear flooded streets and manage traffic flow efficiently.
Emergency Response Actions
According to Brigadier bin Fares, the emergency teams prioritized the following tasks:
- Protecting lives
- Restoring traffic flow on key routes
- Securing residential areas
- Enforcing public safety measures
Accidents and Safety Measures
Due to the wet conditions, some motorists were involved in accidents, including a notable vehicle rollover in Fujairah that resulted in injury and hospitalization of the driver. Nonetheless, there was a decrease in distress calls compared to past incidents, attributed to drivers exercising greater caution after the April 2024 floods.
Current Status and Public Advisory
As weather conditions have improved, Dubai has reopened its beaches and parks for public access. Officials continue to advise residents and visitors to observe necessary safety precautions to avoid accidents.
Support for Vulnerable Animals
A local resident is actively assisting vulnerable animals affected by the rain. The floods caused feeding areas to become submerged and shelters to collapse, putting especially kittens and elderly animals at risk.
This situation underscores Dubai’s ongoing commitment to managing the impacts of severe weather to protect both its residents and wildlife. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for the latest updates.
