DUBAI
-- The Dubai Civil Defense has announced the launch of the Personal Dashboard,
which allows residents and visitors in the emirate to connect to its services
and import personal data they wish to view on an intuitive interface. This
unique way will allow residents and visitors to visualize data to keep informed
and connected.
The Personal Dashboard, says Dubai Civil Defense, will
empower citizens, residents and visitors by connecting them to their needs and
making their daily city interactions more efficient.
Launching the new initiative, Major-General Rashid Thani Al
Matrooshi, Director-General of Dubai Civil Defense, said, "Dubai’s Smart
City initiatives are not merely about automation, it is about connecting people
to their needs. Dubai Civil Defense cares about the safety and satisfaction of
its citizens, residents and visitors. The Personal Dashboard will now enable
real-time public engagement like never before. This is in extension to the
Dubai Life Safety Dashboard, which assists Dubai Civil Defense and building
owners in Dubai to monitor city/building live from a single screen."
"One of the greatest promises of open data is the
ability to create a dashboard that will enable us to measure safety conditions
in real time, this is what we aspire to achieve. A Personal Dashboard is a step
towards achieving the same by collecting and displaying data from public and
private sources, and from ever expanding social media network. It comprises of
key metrics, such as health, family and connectedness, which can help us
understand how we are doing as individuals, communities and as a city. It not
only enhances the internal communication with regards to monitoring of
incidents in Dubai, but also demonstrates our commitment towards the
residents."
Dubai Civil Defense has been in the forefront of
implementing key technologies for the future of the smart city. The Dubai Life
Safety Dashboard reflects the leadership’s dedication to using technology to
make municipal information more open, transparent and accessible.
