Alright, folks, summer’s landed, and Abu Dhabi is turning up the heat, but not the dangerous kind. The Abu Dhabi Police and Civil Defence Authority have kicked off the sixth season of their much-needed ‘Safe Summer’ campaign. It’s all about keeping families, homes, and roads safe while we all soak up the sun.
Stay Sharp This Summer: Abu Dhabi Rolls Out Its ‘Safe Summer’ Campaign
We all know how tempting it is to nip into the mall ‘for two minutes’ and leave the little ones in the car. But here’s the hard truth: that’s a recipe for disaster. Abu Dhabi Police is shouting it loud and clear: Don’t leave children alone in parked cars or swimming pools. Summer heat here can turn cars into ovens, and unsupervised pools can turn into tragedy spots.
As part of the campaign, the Civil Defence teams are hitting the ground with awareness sessions and field drives. Expect practical advice on keeping homes fire-safe, pools accident-free, and your tyres ready to take on the sizzling asphalt. It’s not rocket science, just basic safety steps that can save lives.
Digital Dangers & Summer Travel Warnings
The campaign isn’t stopping at fires and poolside risks. There’s a modern menace they’re tackling, violent e-games. Yes, those games that keep your teens glued to screens, turning aggressive and shutting out the world. The Safe Summer team wants parents to get involved, keep a check, and ensure kids stay grounded in reality, not just in some gaming zone.
Planning to travel? Lovely. But before you jet off, the Police advise you to lock up your valuables, store cash safely – banks are your best bet – and activate those smart alarm systems. A holiday’s only fun if you aren’t worrying about your home turning into a thief’s playground.
Check Those Tyres & Use ‘Aman’ Service
Vehicle breakdowns and fires spike in summer, especially when tyres can’t handle the heat. The message is simple – check your tyres, fix any damage, and avoid those fiery roadside dramas. It’s all about staying road-ready.
And if you spot unsafe behaviour? Don’t look the other way. The ‘Aman’ service is your go-to for reporting violations. It keeps our community safe and sound.
