How to Stay Safe and Prepared During a Crisis in the GCC — Even Without Emergency Training

A practical guide to help residents of the Gulf region stay calm, make better decisions, and protect themselves and their families during uncertain situations.

Life in the GCC is modern, fast-paced, and comfortable. Because of that, many people rarely think about what they would do if a serious disruption suddenly occurred.

But unexpected events can happen anywhere.

When emergencies arise—whether due to regional tensions, infrastructure disruptions, or other crises—many people face the same problem:

They don’t know what to do first.

Confusion spreads quickly. Rumors circulate. People panic.

And when there is no clear plan, valuable time is lost.
