With the increase in winter activities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Abu Dhabi Civil Defense Authority has launched the “Winter Safety” campaign aimed at raising awareness about the risks of seasonal accidents. This initiative, in collaboration with the General Command of Abu Dhabi Police and strategic partners, seeks to promote a culture of prevention and ensure safety during the winter season.
Importance of the Campaign
The Abu Dhabi Civil Defense Authority announced that the campaign is part of its proactive efforts to mitigate potential risks before they occur, through ongoing awareness programs designed to prepare the public to take preventive measures against accidents. The campaign aims to establish a strong foundation for prevention and safety, especially in homes, camps, and facilities.
Targeted Activities
The “Winter Safety” campaign includes a wide range of field and awareness activities aimed at various segments of the community. These activities will be conducted in schools, shopping centers, and recreational venues. Additionally, the authority will produce interactive digital content across its platforms, providing practical guidelines related to appropriate safety procedures.
The Role of the Community in Prevention
The Abu Dhabi Civil Defense Authority emphasizes the importance of individuals being part of safety efforts, as prevention is a responsibility that requires collective action to protect everyone. The authority has called on the public to follow the campaign’s activities through its official channels and adhere to the instructions aimed at safeguarding lives and property.
Reporting Emergencies
In the context of enhancing security and safety, the authority stressed the necessity of promptly reporting emergencies via the number (999), urging individuals to clear the way for Civil Defense vehicles and to stay away from gatherings at accident sites to ensure a swift response.
