The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) has launched its annual awareness campaign, ‘Your Safety is Our Priority,’ to promote public safety and encourage the responsible use of electricity and water during the summer season.
The initiative also aims to strengthen community awareness as part of the Abu Dhabi DoE’s ongoing efforts to ensure safer and more sustainable consumption practices across the emirate.
The campaign reflects the DoE’s commitment to supporting a safe and sustainable community by raising awareness of the heat-related risks during the summer, promoting safe practices in the use of electricity and gas, enhancing energy and water efficiency, and encouraging conservation and the adoption of optimal resource-use behaviors amid rising summer temperatures.
The campaign supports the DoE’s integrated approach to raising awareness of safety and sustainable resource use across sectors.
As part of the campaign rollout, the Department will organize a series of community awareness sessions and field visits across different areas of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. These activities form part of the Department’s efforts to strengthen direct engagement with community members and raise awareness of safety and the efficient use of energy and water during the summer season.
The sessions will highlight safe practices related to electricity use, gas systems, and electrical connections, while encouraging responsible consumption and efficient use of resources.
The program includes Abu Dhabi Majlis, municipal presence centers, and field visits to residential, commercial, and industrial facilities, as well as Barakat Aldar social clubs, part of the Family Development Foundation. These platforms and community centers play an important role in fostering direct engagement with various segments of society and promoting dialogue and knowledge exchange between government entities and the public. The awareness sessions are being coordinated in collaboration with strategic partners and relevant stakeholders to broaden outreach, maximize the impact of awareness messages, and encourage community participation in support of the campaign’s objectives.
Commenting on the launch, Engineer Ahmed Al Sheebani, Executive Director of the Petroleum Products Regulatory Affairs Sector at the Abu Dhabi DoE, said that, “The ‘Your Safety is Our Priority’ campaign demonstrates the Department’s commitment to promoting safety and security and raising community awareness of the importance of adopting preventive practices and safe behaviors in everyday life. These efforts contribute to reducing risks and enhancing community safety.”
“We also emphasize the importance of active community participation through awareness sessions and field visits targeting different entities and institutions, helping to strengthen preventive awareness and foster a culture of safety across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi,” Al Sheebani added.
