Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has urged residents of Dubai to prepare for the upcoming rainy season by following six crucial safety steps. This call to action aims to help residents stay safe and protect their properties from potential water damage as the region anticipates increased rainfall in the coming months.
