"We call on all to exercise caution." In no case can this sentence be considered a sufficient warning to citizens and residents when abnormal weather conditions occur, such as those faced by the state the day before yesterday, it is not enough to do so, and can not be argued after that the competent authorities Advance warnings have been issued, and in the event of an accident due to bad weather, we cannot blame the citizens, citing their failure to comply with prior warnings!
General sentence no real benefit please .. What precaution? And what caution? It is not to be assumed that members of the whole society, citizens and residents, have a very high level of awareness and knowledge of the basics of precaution, so they are indispensable to any additional details, and this sentence is sufficient only to deal with any emergency, the truth is not that simple!
The state's weather was not normal, but most of the UAE population were shocked and surprised.This shock confirms that people did not have the slightest information about the strength of the weather, and this has two possibilities, either the competent authorities did not issue any advance warnings Or that the warnings issued were not enough, and the relevant authorities were unable to deliver them properly and timely enough to members of the community, and therefore the surprise and surprise and confusion as a natural result of the issuance of warning messages, or not to reach people!
We do not deny that there are very few, and very limited, videos of awareness of the behavior to be taken by motorists during the rains, and we do not deny that it is a very good work that should be intensified and generalized, but it is not supposed to be published after the rains and the confusion of the people. Intensive campaigns are supposed to start a few days before the rains. Modern equipment and advanced technologies make it possible to know the weather conditions, very precisely, well in advance. Why is this slowdown, and why is the traditional routine working on this particular aspect yet?
For example, the competent authorities decided to suspend two companies, after organizing trips «parachute» water, after the fall of three of them, and the injury of a number of hikers with various injuries due to the intensity of the wind, Working because of the weather forecast, which indicates bad weather? .. If such pre-instructions were issued, you never flash that these companies are violating, and deserved to be suspended, but in the absence of advance warnings from the concerned authorities, and the absence of direct instructions to these Companies, blame here Falls on the competent authorities not on these companies!
This is an example, too, of the kind of warnings we need, where we should not be content with the phrase “be careful and vigilant”, which does not fatten or sing from hunger, we need clear instructions not to go to certain places, and not to walk in certain streets, or to stay at home in the period We should not shy away from dealing with natural disasters, because they do not mean any shortcomings, and they are not negative behavior that we must hide. They are natural phenomena that happen everywhere, in every country, big Whether small or small, let us deal with them more professionally, more responsibly, and the safety of members of society is more important than any other consideration without a doubt!
