What to do during emergency alerts in Dubai?
DUBAI – Dubai has issued a multi-language safety guide detailing how residents should respond to official emergency alerts issued by the Ministry of Interior.
The advisory instructs people to remain calm, move indoors, avoid windows, balconies, and open spaces, and follow building or security instructions while waiting for an official all-clear message.
Those outdoors are urged to enter the nearest building immediately or safely park and seek shelter, while all individuals are advised to rely only on verified government updates and avoid spreading unconfirmed information. The guide also lists key emergency contact numbers, confirming that police, ambulance, civil defence, and health services across the UAE remain fully operational.
