he UAE has called for remote work and distance learning to be implemented on Thursday and Friday as the country prepares for heavy rain and thunder. The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority on Wednesday issued the guidance for all schools and universities and the public and private sector.
NCEMA said weather-related directives would be issued by authorities in each emirate.
“The national system for Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Management emphasizes raising the alert level and readiness to deal with the weather situation, in order to ensure an effective response and provide the necessary support at both national and local levels,” NCEMA said in a social media statement.
A joint weather task force met on Tuesday to coordinate response efforts.
