Dubai Civil Defence has launched of the Dubai Life Safety Dashboard, which will be implemented in every building in the Emirate and which will enable agencies to monitor their buildings’ health and safety status in real-time.

The Dashboard will allow decision-makers at Civil Defence, other government departments, stakeholders, building owners and its occupants to view the life safety status of Dubai in real time and determine their roles, responsibility and accountability in a transparent and dynamic manner.

The Dashboard will share the real-time information about the operational status of life safety. This will also enable significant transformation in how performance levels can be enhanced exponentially by sharing real-time information between all the stakeholders to act on information and participate in a transparently and collaborative manner.

The enterprise-class business intelligence delivered through the dashboard will also help all government departments, building owners and residents to monitor their buildings’ health and safety status in real-time.

Major General Expert Rashid Thani Rashid Al Matrooshi, director general of Dubai Civil Defence, said: “Our organisation has always been in the forefront of adapting new technologies that will help in protecting lives, properties and environment. The Dubai Life Safety Dashboard allows readers to understand complex data in less time than it would take to read similar material located in the text of a full report.”

“Government leaders are deluged with thousands of streams of data about the performance of agencies and programs. To make sense of the deluge of data we receive, we need to present them in a way that makes sense to decision-makers.

“By using the Dubai Life Safety Dashboard presenting performance data, Civil Defence can now track key performance metrics of both individual buildings and Civil Defence activities. Data from different sources is being integrated and displayed through informative graphics,” he added.

“The Dashboard adds more power to DCD’s operations and enhances the organization’s capabilities to analyze data for better decision-making and organizational performance,” Al Matrooshi continued.

“It not only enhances the internal communication with regards to monitoring of the fire station and resources, but also demonstrates our commitment towards the residents. Every building owner in Dubai will be provided with their individual building dashboard that displays the health and safety status of their buildings through an innovative Dashboard. The Dashboard will also enable other Government departments to facilitate innovative services to building owners and occupants in Dubai," he concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
