Summer Car Safety

By following these tips and tricks, you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience during the summer months.

• Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can set in quickly during hot weather, so always keep water bottles in the car to stay hydrated, especially on long drives.

• Check the AC System: Before hitting the road, make sure your car's air conditioning system is working properly. If it's not cooling efficiently, have it inspected by a professional to avoid discomfort or heat-related health issues.

• Protect Against Sunlight: Use sunshades for your windshield and side windows to block out direct sunlight and reduce interior heat buildup. Additionally, consider tinting your windows to further minimize UV exposure and heat.

• Never Leave Children or Pets Unattended: Even with windows cracked, temperatures inside a car can skyrocket dangerously in a matter of minutes. Never leave children or pets unattended in a parked car, even for a short period.

• Check Tire Pressure: Hot weather can cause tire pressure to increase, so regularly check your tires' pressure to prevent blowouts or other tire-related issues.

• Inspect Fluid Levels: Ensure that your car's coolant, oil, and other fluids are at appropriate levels to prevent overheating and engine damage, especially during long drives in high temperatures.

• Plan for Breaks: If embarking on a long journey, plan for regular breaks to stretch your legs, cool down, and rest. Avoid driving during the hottest parts of the day if possible.

• Pack Emergency Supplies: Keep a well-stocked emergency kit in your car, including water, non-perishable snacks, a first-aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables, and a reflective vest or triangle in case of roadside emergencies.

• Watch for Signs of Overheating: Be vigilant for signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke, such as dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, or headache. If you or your passengers experience these symptoms, find shade, drink water, and seek medical attention if necessary.

• Be Prepared for Traffic Jams: Summer travel often means encountering traffic jams and delays. Plan alternate routes, use GPS navigation apps to stay updated on traffic conditions, and pack entertainment and snacks to keep passengers comfortable during extended waits.

Contents Insurance

Your home is filled with belongings that hold sentimental and financial value that deserve to be protected.

We encourage all residents to consider obtaining a contents insurance which safeguards your belongings against unforseen events and incidents such as floods, vandalism, theft, fire and storm damage.

Some items covered by contents insurance include: Personal belongings such as electronic appliances, furniture, curtains, art, lamps, fixtures, wallpaper and jewelry

Some items covered by community insurance include: Common areas such as roads, amenities, signage, street lights, walls, irrigation system and gate barriers

COMMON FAQS:

I'm a tenant. Isn't community insurance the responsibility of my landlord? Yes, but landlords and Emaar Community Management are only responsible for insuring the structure and common areas. Insuring belongings is the responsibility of the tenant.

My things were damaged as a result of structural damage to the walls. Whose responsibility is it?

Even if structural damage affected your belongings, only the cost of repairing the property will be covered by the community's insurance, which excludes personal contents of the home.

Rain water entered my home and damaged my appliances. Is this the community's responsibility?

Community insurance will cover any water damage to the roads, sidewalks, sports courts and any other common areas affected. Items inside the home are not covered - that's where a contents insurance plan comes in.
