The Emergencies, Crises and Disasters Management Centre - Abu Dhabi (ADCMC) continues to implement the second phase of the "Our Community is Prepared" campaign, as part of the comprehensive response ecosystem adopted by Abu Dhabi to keep pace with regional developments.

The campaign is carried out in cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Police GHQ; the Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority; the Department of Community Development; the Family Development Foundation; Abu Dhabi Ports Group; Zayed Authority for People of Determination; and Tadweer Group. It aims to enhance community awareness and strengthen preventive behaviours across different segments of society.

The campaign focuses on raising awareness of appropriate emergency response procedures and on guiding the public on how to act when alerts are issued.

It also educates community members on how to respond to falling debris and other potential hazards, emphasising the importance of adhering to instructions issued by the relevant authorities to ensure public safety. In addition, the campaign highlights the risks associated with photographing accident sites or circulating inaccurate information during crises, and the negative impact such actions can have on field response efforts.
