As the UAE braces for unstable weather, Sharjah Municipality has launched a comprehensive plan to manage potential flooding and ensure public safety. To tackle the incoming rain, authorities have mobilized a dedicated team of 1,100 personnel, supported by a fleet of 580 tanker trucks and high-capacity mobile pumps. Beyond manpower, the city has proactively cleared 40,000 drainage openings and prepared 70 collection basins to ensure rainwater can be effectively managed throughout the emirate.

The city has also made significant technical upgrades to its infrastructure, including the installation of nine new pumping stations across key arteries like Al Wahda Street and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Street. Specialized improvements were also completed for the Al Seyouh and Al Bulaida tunnels to boost drainage capacity during heavy downpours. With the National Centre of Meteorology forecasting further storms, the municipality is maintaining 24-hour operations and urges residents to utilize the 993 hotline to report any weather-related concerns.
