Amid the unprecedented situation unfolding across the UAE following Iranian missile attacks since Saturday, authorities have been working around the clock to keep residents safe, informed and calm.

Here is a clear breakdown of what is happening, what you should and should not do, and where to get reliable information as we entered the second day of the US-Israel war on Iran yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) said in a social media post: "Your safety is a priority, and maintaining public reassurance is a responsibility taken seriously. Authorities in the UAE continue to monitor the situation around the clock, with ongoing and careful assessment of all developments. The national readiness system is fully active, and all measures in place are focused on protecting the community and ensuring that daily life continues safely and without disruption."

"We highly value our community's awareness and cooperation — key to managing every situation. Your commitment to official directives and calm reflects the UAE's strong sense of responsibility. Together, we safeguard national security and build reassurance," NCEMA added.
