UAE rains: Government and private sector firms are urged to permit employees to work from home

Residents have been told to stay away from mountain and desert areas, and the sea, over the next few days

 

As the nation's unpredictable weather reaches its climax, the disaster management body of the United Arab Emirates has urged workers in the public and commercial sectors to allow their staff to work from home. The National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has advised that employees be allowed to work remotely, with the exception of those whose presence is required in order for them to do their duties or those who are helping with the recovery process.

 

But remember, this is only a suggestion, and the relevant authorities will ultimately make the call.


This occurred when the UAE became more "ready" and increased its "alert level" for the inclement weather.

 

Authorities are closely examining the impact of such meteorological conditions on specific regions of the nation following the storm that occurred on April 16.

 

The UAE will restrict all routes that go to valleys, flooded areas, and dams, according to an announcement made by the authorities. For the next few days, locals have been advised to avoid locations near mountains, deserts, and the sea.

 

According to the NCM, the erratic weather that is expected will not be as severe as the one that occurred on April 16, when the nation experienced a day's worth of rain in one. At that time, hundreds of flights were canceled, and schools opened for business a few days later despite numerous areas and streets still being under water. There were delays to public transportation, and some drivers had to ditch their cars on flooded highways because their engines had quit.

 

The NCEMA has asked locals to follow all rules and directives given by the relevant authorities.

 

The authority suggested implementing remote learning in schools across the nation. It has, however, delegated the choice to regional disaster management organizations. On May 2-3, remote learning will be implemented in all schools in Dubai and Sharjah.

 

Despite the fact that the nation has been experiencing showers of varied intensities over the past two days, unpredictable weather is predicted to culminate on May 2 and 3. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predicts some rain and possibly some hail for Wednesday, May 1. There will be intermittent lightning and thunder along with moderate to heavy rain in various locations throughout the next few days. Hail has also been predicted by the NCM in various locations.
