The Chief of Public Security and Chairman of the National Civil Emergency Management Committee, Lt-General Tariq Al Hassan, announced the activation of the National Civil Emergency Management Centre to follow up on rain and unstable weather implications.
The decision was part of the instructions of His Excellency Interior Minister General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa.
He said that the centre enforces the rain emergency plan, which associates the roles of concerned authorities. The plan includes following-up preparedness and weather reports. The plan also tackles how to interact with the public via the National Civil Protection Platform, media, and social media.
The centre urges the public to follow security and safety measures, weather guidelines, and warnings. It also asks the public to get information from official resources during the rain to protect lives and property.
In the same context, the Chief inspected the centre's workflow during a field visit. He asserted that joint efforts by all state sectors and organisations showcase the one-team spirit and integrated efforts to protect lives and property. He said the plan’s priorities are to secure main and sub-roads, deal with cases through an integrated approach, and provide proactive warnings to citizens and residents.
