Dubai Municipality installed 5 strong motion stations located closer to Dubai urban areas. The locations of these stations are selected to cover most of the urban area and to reflect the ground motion response for different soils beneath Dubai urban area.

The shake maps for the earthquakes are generated according to their magnitudes (local events ML > 3 and regional events mb> 5) are executed on real time after the occurrence of the events by less than 5 minutes and published on Geodesy & Hydrographic Survey Section, Survey Department, Dubai Municipality.

This project is a part from DM promotion to the disaster countermeasure of Dubai City for emergency response, loss estimation, and for public information through the media.
