The department has mobilised all its teams to evacuate affected area residents and provide immediate aid.
The department responded promptly to provide shelter to families affected by heavy rain, which resulted in water entering their homes, roofs collapsing, and electricity malfunctions. The affected families were housed in hotels in the eastern regions, many of them being accommodated in Kalba, Khorfakkan, and Dibba Al Hisn.
