Abu Dhabi: General Commander-in-chief of Civil Defence at the UAE Ministry of Interior, Major General Jasim Mohammad Al Marzouqui, warned of exceptionally unstable weather conditions across the country.
He urged citizens and residents to exercise caution due to potential landslides and flash flooding caused by torrential rain and hailstorm that lashed the UAE yesterday, and reiterated calls for compliance with safety requirements.
People planning wilderness or camping trips are advised to monitor weather changes and avoid areas where rainwater is pooling up, including valleys, natural water canals and areas submerged in water, the official said.
He urged people to refrain from swimming in floodwater and crossing valleys filled with water, avoid low-lying lands and beds of valleys, and keep an eye on their children.
The civil defence commander also urged people not to use radio devices and cell phones in open areas during lighting and thunderstorms.
The Civil Defence broadcasts instructions and updates via official websites and accounts on social networking sites Instagram and Twitter, including those Ministry of Interior’s.
Official sources including the National Meteorological Centre provide weather bulletins and advisories for the public to help avoid potential risks and enhance safety.
