This initiative outlines clear responsibilities for all involved parties to strengthen emergency response coordination and minimize any potential disruptions that could impact students sitting for the O/L examinations or officials managing examination duties.

- DMC’s Emergency Number: 117
- DMC’s Special Joint Emergency Operations Room Numbers:
- 0113 668 020
- 0113 668 100
- 0113 668 013

- 076 3 117 117
- Examinations Department Hotline: 1911
The authorities urge students and their families to remain alert and use these numbers to report any issues or seek assistance during the examination period. This joint effort aims to safeguard the smooth running of the examinations and ensure the safety of all involved, even amidst unforeseen weather challenges.
