The scale is commendable, but I hope the focus is on practical, grassroots training and not just awareness. In many Indian towns, we have fire safety laws but the implementation and public readiness are poor. 🤔

Great to see global cooperation on safety. As someone who has worked in the Gulf, I've seen their focus on infrastructure safety firsthand. Indian cities, take note! 🇮🇳

Reaching people in 25+ languages is the key takeaway for me. Safety information must be accessible to all, regardless of language. A lesson for every multinational initiative.

Dubai consistently hosts such global forums that bring tangible solutions. Hope Indian institutions like NDMA and state fire services are participating and learning from these best practices.
