The Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority has inaugurated a comprehensive ‘Winter Safety’ campaign designed to heighten public awareness regarding seasonal hazards and accident prevention. This initiative represents a strategic extension of the authority’s proactive risk mitigation approach, emphasizing preventive measures before incidents occur.
Targeting diverse community segments, the campaign will deploy extensive field activities and educational programs across multiple venues including schools, shopping centers, recreational facilities, public events, desert camps, and traditional majlis gatherings. The program aims to instill a robust culture of safety consciousness during winter months when specific risks emerge in residential and recreational settings.
Authority officials emphasized that this campaign forms part of a broader transition toward an integrated preventive system where community awareness serves as the primary defense mechanism. The initiative encourages adoption of safe behavioral practices during winter activities while reinforcing shared responsibility for protection.
Community members are urged to actively follow campaign updates through official communication channels and strictly adhere to published safety guidelines. The authority additionally stressed critical emergency protocols: immediate reporting of incidents via emergency number 999, yielding right-of-way to Civil Defense vehicles, and avoiding congestion at accident sites to facilitate efficient emergency response operations.
