Additional
Note:
The impact of critical major incidents or disaster resilience is a crucial
element for any Government to prepare and plan. Any effective
operational response, tactical coordination and strategic command must
be well planned and rehearsed in order for any structured resilience
program.
In order to plan and prepare for such events it requires such an initiative
as suggested with the Dubai Disaster City Training & Education program.
However, this should be a coordinated program that will involve all
agencies, particularly emergency agencies such as Police Rescue, Civil
Defence and Ambulance authorities for shared best practices and
synchronized resources. This will result in a multi-agency coordinated
resource that will perform seamless interoperability, a critical component
of successful resilience when dealing with major critical incidents and
disasters.
The areas of coordinated resource sharing are not restricted to but could
include:
 Training programs and facilities
 Command SOPs
 Expertise and skill sets
 Specialized equipment
 Stakeholder knowledge and intelligence
Regarding the provision of a disaster response team ready to respond to
any disaster is again an excellent initiative especially as recent events and
skill development, Dubai has shown a proven track record for outstanding
incident handling and speedy resilience. This project really can be an
excellent foundation for something that Dubai and the UAE can be proud
to announce internationally.

DISASTER PLANS FOR PRIVATE EMPLOYEE
Over the past decade, the Business Civic Leadership Center (BCLC) has issued a series of reports on the role of
businesses in disaster response, primarily focusing on the philanthropic and social contributions that businesses
make throughout the various stages of the disaster response process.
This report looks at a different issue—what are businesses doing as innovators and developers of products and
services to make communities more disaster resilient?
What we are finding is that companies are helping communities manage disasters simply by doing business.
In many cases, protecting their business operations in order to get back up and running quickly after a disaster is
the best thing a business can do for its community.
What we are also finding is that companies are developing advanced technologies to help communities not just
withstand disasters but also deliver benefits that contribute to their long-term development.
Business processes are driving risk management. The insurance and reinsurance industries have played
fundamental roles in educating business owners and operators about the importance of disaster mitigation and
preparedness. It is in their self-interest to encourage businesses and communities to be as resilient as possible,
which pays off for everyone if a disaster happens.
Therefore, DDRRC Regional offices shall coordinate with Private Business to ensure training part of its
employee every year…
