Dubai strengthens emergency preparedness with strategic partnerships

The Dubai Resilience Centre has signed three key agreements to boost the city’s emergency preparedness and crisis response capabilities.

The MOUs were finalised with the National Centre of Meteorology, Dubai Land Department, and Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University during a ceremony held at Emirates Towers.

The agreements were signed in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai’s Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management.

These partnerships aim to enhance early warning systems, improve real estate sector resilience, and introduce academic programmes focused on crisis management and climate change — reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global model for urban resilience.

The collaboration will help strengthen coordination across key sectors, from real estate and urban planning to climate risk analysis and emergency training.

Sheikh Mansoor said that the city’s readiness stems from long-term planning, institutional integration and investment in national talent.

He added that resilience extends beyond crisis management to anticipating future changes, adapting to global trends, and continuously enhancing systems.
