SARA ALZAABI (ABU DHABI)
Abu Dhabi has made exceptional progress in automating emergency and crisis management, from preparedness all the way to the recovery phase, an official told Aletihad on the sidelines of the World Crisis and Emergency Management Summit 2025 (WCEMS) on Tuesday.
The two-day WCEMS 2025 kicked off in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Adviser.
Shaikha Al Azeezi, Director of the Business Continuity and Alternative Services Department at the Emergencies, Crisis, and Disasters Management Center - Abu Dhabi (ADCMC), highlighted the emirate's achievements in building resilience.
"We at ADCMC have made exceptional progress in automating the process of emergency and crisis management. We are using the Crisis Management Platform, which includes sub-platforms that automate the entire cycle, from preparedness to recovery," Al Azeezi told Aletihad.
One of ADCMC's most important automated platforms is the resources and capabilities system, she said. "This allows us to automate data and have real-time information about all resources across Abu Dhabi. This helps facilitate and streamline the response process in all types of emergencies and crises."
The platform automates the complete end-to-end cycle, making real-time data available for immediate crisis situations.
Continuity of Critical Services
This digital transformation strengthens the synergy between the government and private sectors, promoting business continuity standards that will ensure seamless operations at all times, Al Azeezi said.
"We have already launched the first standard specifically for Abu Dhabi, focusing on critical services. We began with health services and will continue to implement this for the remaining 14 critical services across the emirate."
