There were 69 reports of fallen trees in neighbourhoods or on internal roads, and 16 reports of fallen trees on Dubai main roadways owing to strong wind speed. In addition, the Municipality received 18 requests for rainwater pool draining.

In addition, the Municipality assigned additional workers to monitor garbage disposal procedures on roadways, such as tree branches, grass, and sands, as well as deal with rainwater pools and clogged subterranean drains caused by the deluge.
