In a move to enhance Dubai's crisis management capabilities, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has issued a decree, establishing the Dubai Resilience Centre.
The new public entity will play a key role in reinforcing Dubai’s ability to swiftly respond to risks, emergencies, crises and disasters.
Operating under the Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management, the Centre is granted the authority to implement essential actions for crisis prevention and rapid recovery.
It will also coordinate efforts to effectively address emergencies and support the Committee’s work.
The Centre’s responsibilities include developing resilience plans, managing a central operations platform and establishing partnerships with local, regional and international entities.
It will also collect and analyze data to create strategies and raise awareness about crisis preparedness.
The decree mandates full cooperation from all government and non-government entities in Dubai to support the Centre in achieving its mission.
