The UAE Consulate in Houston has advised UAE citizens residing in the United States to remain vigilant in light of the anticipated significant drop in temperatures in Houston.
It stressed the need to follow safety guidelines provided by local authorities, utilize the emergency hotlines at +971 800 24 or +971 800 44444, and ensure registration with the Tawajudi service.
More than 400,000 customers in the Us as far west as Texas were without power and more than 9,600 flights were expected to be cancelled on Sunday ahead of a monster winter storm that threatened to paralyse eastern states with heavy snowfall.
Forecasters said snow, sleet, freezing rain and dangerously frigid temperatures would sweep the eastern two-thirds of the nation on Sunday and into the week.
Calling the storms "historic," President Donald Trump on Saturday approved federal emergency disaster declarations in South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Indiana, and West Virginia. "We will continue to monitor, and stay in touch with all States in the path of this storm. Stay Safe, and Stay Warm," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
