Dubai residents left without a habitable home or food are to be helped free of charge, according to a government directive.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Dubai, has instructed developers and management companies to provide alternative housing, distribute food, and provide cleaning services to rain-damaged communities.
In a statement on his website, Sheikh Hamdan directed all residential management companies and real estate developers to offer a series of services at no additional charge to all Dubai residents affected by the severe weather.
This includes alternative housing for residents affected by the weather, the distribution of food within affected communities, comprehensive pest control services, security for the safety of residents, assistance to return to residential properties, including interior cleaning, monitoring and documenting damage caused by the rain during the insurance coverage period, and support in assessing potential risk to properties.
Sheikh Hamdan asked the Dubai Land Department and the Real Estate Regulatory Agency to co-ordinate with property developers to work towards restoring normality in all communities.
The Crown Prince also stressed the importance of offering immediate accommodation to all affected citizens until their homes are repaired.
The severe rains that lashed the UAE at the start of the week triggered landslides, inundated roads and motorways and flooded homes.
Many residents were forced to leave their apartments and villas, and abandon vehicles in the aftermath of the country’s worst storms on record.
