An interactive map of Al Ain city has been completed by Abu Dhabi Civil Defense General Directorate and Al Ain Municipality.


The interactive map offers accurate site coordinates data and information that will contribute to protecting people’s lives and property, through the integration of three fundamental programs into one program on one site.


Lt. Colonel Mohammed Abdul Jaleel Al Ansari, general director  of Abu Dhabi Civil Defense stressed that this achievement has been in line with the directives of Lt. General HH Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior to act according to the " integration doctrine " model, and based on the importance of teamwork and cooperation between the Ministry of Interior and all government bodies  


  The interactive map will provide a common database for both sides, especially that related to specialized sections at the Civil defense centers, such as field survey; and will also provide a detailed description of every area and district in Al Ain city, along with offering a detailed database, such as population size and gender and the number of organizations in the city, such as schools and hospitals, said Al Ansari. 


The maps will be easily accessible with all the information by integrating the database program (GBS) used by the Civil Defense, (GIS) database program used by Al Ain Municipality and the database into one site, added Al Ansari. The interactive maps will be updated continuously by both the Civil Defense and municipality.


Major Muzzaffar Al Ameri, head of the Civil Defense centers in Al Ain, said that this project is the first of its kind across the country and is aligned with the Ministry of Interior’s strategy to ensure readiness and preparedness in disaster and crises through speedy intervention and efficient performance.
