Shelter-in-Place Guide
1
Go indoors immediately
Move to the lowest interior room with no windows — bathrooms and hallways work well.
2
Close doors and windows
Turn off ventilation if possible. Seal gaps under doors with wet towels if instructed.
3
Stay informed
Monitor NCEMA and Dubai Media Office only. Keep your phone charged.
4
Keep calm
Reassure children. Do not post or share unverified information.
5
Wait for the all-clear
Do not leave shelter until authorities announce it is safe.
