Recent developments in the UAE have proceeded toward the concept of disaster resilience. However, preparations for any impending disaster have been slow and, due to the country’s recent legal establishment as a nation, disaster preparation has featured on the national agenda only very recently. In light of the new nuclear development in the UAE energy sector, it is important to understand the vulnerabilities of the sector as a means of preparedness for future natural or man-made hazards. Therefore, the paper is prepared to discuss the conceptual model of the geoformation factors' effects on natural disaster management in the UAE. The study will contribute to the knowledge of disaster management far as geoformation is concerned in the UAE.
