Residents of Dubai who were impacted by the storm can now use WhatsApp to get in touch with the authorities for assistance with property damage from the rain. This is in response to Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's directive to the relevant agencies to prepare for severe weather. 

In accordance with these directions, the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment's Executive Director, Omar Hamad Bushahab, formed a committee to review all requests from impacted residents and decide how to proceed, "giving priority to maintaining all their damaged homes and restoring them."

On the WhatsApp app, the number 0583009000 has been allotted to take assistance requests from impacted citizens.
