Crown Prince of Dubai approved a series of initiatives and measures to urgently alleviate the impact of severe weather

The Dubai Crown Prince gave his approval to a number of projects and actions aimed at quickly lessening the effects of the extreme weather in the emirate. Sheikh Hamdan declared that Dubai is committed to helping everyone impacted by the bad weather, and he also said he will personally keep an eye on the development of the response plans. He emphasized that all citizens and residents will receive efficient support from on-the-ground teams.

After conducting a thorough assessment of the conditions in the impacted areas, the Dubai Government's on-the-ground staff have been actively working on immediate solutions to problems with the help of community volunteers.

A committee to promptly assess all requests from Emirati citizens impacted by the heavy rains was established by the Crown Prince of Dubai. The committee will decide how best to handle these requests, giving the impacted people' homes' repairs and rehabilitation top priority. 

In order to hasten the return of normalcy to all of the communities that the developers oversee, Sheikh Hamdan also gave the Dubai Land Department and the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) instructions to work together with property developers.

All residential management companies and real estate developers will offer the following services at no additional charges. It includes providing alternative housing to weather-affected residents, distributing food to affected communities, offering comprehensive pest control services, enhancing security to ensure resident safety, helping with the return of residential properties, including interior cleaning services, keeping an eye on and recording rain-related damages during the insurance coverage period, and assisting with the assessment of potential risks to properties.

In addition, Sheikh Hamdan oversaw the establishment of a commission headed by Omar Bushahab, CEO of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, to assist the impacted individuals. The Department of Economy and Tourism, the Roads and Transport Authority, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, the Dubai Municipality, and the Community Development Authority of Dubai are also members of the committee. In order to ensure that the needs and concerns of the individuals impacted by the recent rains are met effectively and efficiently, the committee is entrusted with receiving requests from those citizens and responding to them as soon as possible.

Sheikh Hamdan praised the Department of Economy and Tourism for working with Dubai's hotels and the private sector to relocate residents affected by the severe weather until their homes were fixed.
