UAE embassy Muscat issued advisory urging citizens residing

The UAE embassy in Muscat has issued an advisory urging citizens residing in Oman to exercise caution due to an impending tropical depression that is expected to bring heavy rainfall across many regions of the Sultanate. With forecasts predicting rains between 40-90 mm, the weather situation is expected to intensify in the coming days.

Authorities have encouraged UAE nationals in Oman to stay informed by closely following all safety guidelines and instructions provided by local emergency services. In case of any emergencies, citizens can reach the UAE mission in Oman through emergency hotlines: 0097180024 or 0097180044444. UAE citizens are also advised to register for the Tawajodi service to receive timely updates and assistance.

 

Oman Suspends Work and School Activities

In response to the severe weather conditions, Omani authorities have suspended work and school activities across both public and private sectors on Tuesday, October 15. Several governorates, however, will implement remote learning to ensure continuity in education despite the weather disruption. This precautionary measure comes as the National Centre for Early Warning of Multiple Hazards issued alerts about the potential impacts of the tropical depression.

The Omani National Committee for Managing Emergency Situations is coordinating efforts to mitigate the risks posed by the heavy rainfall and strong winds expected to affect most areas of the country.

The UAE authorities continue to monitor the situation closely and have reiterated the importance of safety and preparedness for citizens in affected regions.
