Dibba Al Hisn Sports Club holds emergency evacuation drill

Theoretical training focuses on awareness and preparedness

 The training targeted all club employees — administrative, technical, and operational — and was conducted by Assistant Officer Ahmed Mohammed Hammadi and First Assistant Rashid Mohammed Al Dhahouri from the Civil Defence Department. The theoretical component addressed the importance of early awareness of evacuation procedures and detailed the correct steps to take during emergencies such as fires or sudden incidents. Participants also learned about the safe use of firefighting equipment, the importance of knowing the locations of extinguishers and emergency exits, and the roles of internal emergency teams to ensure rapid intervention when needed.

Practical evacuation drill tests staff readiness
