With regard to the editorial How people power helped the UAE weather the storm (April 23): The piece rightly mentioned that this event will linger in people's minds for years to come. Going ahead, as stated in the editorial, climate preparedness must be a factor in a city planning to face future challenges. It was impressive nonetheless that the city was able to get back to its feet in such a short time, considering the amount it rained. Air travel was naturally impacted but it was managed efficiently all in all, considering the weather disturbances. Kudos to UAE authorities for taking so many initiatives to help the people.
