INTRODUCTION 1.1 Natural disasters that occur in Hong Kong are generally the result of severe weather conditions such as exceptionally heavy rain, storm surges, thunderstorms and tropical cyclones. These events can result in considerable disruption to transport and other essential services and cause floods, landslips and other incidents giving rise to casualties. Tsunami, which is a geophysical hazard that poses a threat to coastal communities worldwide, has a very small chance of affecting Hong Kong significantly. The consequences of any natural disaster and the counter measures required to deal with it will vary according to the circumstances. 1.2 This contingency plan summarises the Government’s alerting systems and organisational framework for responding to such disasters. Functions and responsibilities of Government departments and other bodies in the event of natural disasters including those resulting from severe weather conditions are also set out in this Contingency Plan. 1.3 In addition to this Plan, each department has its own detailed operational instructions. Page 5 Hong Kong Contingency Plan for Natural Disasters 2. ALERTING SYSTEM AND CO-ORDINATION 2.1 The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) monitors weather conditions closely and initiates issue of all warnings of severe weather conditions, indicating where and when the event will occur, how long it will last and what consequences are expected. Messages will also be issued giving general advice on precautions to be taken to minimise the loss of life and damage to property, followed by supplementary information and advice as the situation develops. The HKO will also issue, to the media and Government departments listed in Annex E4, hourly summaries of the weather warnings whenever Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals, Rainstorm Warning Signals or Landslip Warnings are in force. The HKO will, in addition, send these summaries by fax every hour to EMSC, PHQCCC, FSCC and ISD. The HKO will also inform AAHK via HKO Airport Meteorological Office of the latest Tropical Cyclone Warning Signals, Strong Monsoon Signal and Rainstorm Signals by fax or appropriate means. These warnings will then be disseminated by ISD, the SBDO/EMSC, the Police, FSD, TD, MD, AAHK, PCCW-HKT and other parties according to the Full Alerting System set out in Annex E. The HKO also monitors the occurrence of earthquake-generated tsunamis, and issue Tsunami Warnings indicating the estimated time of arrival of the tsunami at Hong Kong. As communities vulnerable to storm surges due to approaching tropical cyclones are also vulnerable to tsunamis, the alerting system for tsunamis is the same as that for tropical cyclones (i.e. Annex E). Upon receipt of these weather warnings or tsunami warnings, and any other messages received, the listed organisations will take effect any necessary action specified in this contingency plan and in their own detailed operational instructions. A full list of emergency contact telephone, facsimile and radio telephone numbers is provided in the “Hong Kong Emergency Telephone Directory”. This Directory is a Restricted document. 2.2 HAD will handle public enquiries. ISD will deal with the media generally, although Police Public Relations Branch will handle operational matters such as traffic accidents, traffic congestion, road diversions and road closures. The media, public and other outside parties should not contact, or be referred to, SBDO/EMSC or HKO. 2.3 The HKO will maintain close regular contact on the weather or tsunami situation with the SBDO, or with EMSC if it has been activated. As regards the latest effects of inclement weather or a tsunami, the ISD, HAD HQ, PHQCCC, FSCC, CEDD, DSD, HyD, DEVB, TD, MD, Lands D, HA, EDB and SWD should all keep SBDO/EMSC and each other fully and proactively informed. This will enable all parties to respond quickly and effectively in a co-ordinated manner. It will also enable SBDO/EMSC to collate all available information; monitor the situation as it develops; identify problems; and ensure that departments receive any support necessary. See also paragraph 8.5.7. Page 6 Hong Kong Contingency Plan for Natural Disasters 3. TROPICAL CYCLONES - WARNINGS AND ACTION TO BE TAKEN 3.1 Tropical Cyclone Warnings -Tropical cyclone advisories and/or warnings are issued by the HKO, via ISD, whenever a tropical cyclone is within 800 km of Hong Kong and may affect Hong Kong. Such advisories and/or warnings include the name of the tropical cyclone, the number of the tropical cyclone signal issued and advice on the precautionary measures that the public should take, including, when appropriate, advice on the timing of possible sea flooding due to storm surges. Annex A describes in full Hong Kong’s Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal System, and the respective meanings of the various signals, and gives some advice on precautionary measures. It also includes some sample warning messages. Broadcast of Special Advisory and Warning Messages 3.2 When a No. 3 Signal or higher is issued, SWD must decide and advise ISD whether day nurseries, day crèches, sheltered workshops, supported employment units and day activity centres for the disabled, day care centres, multi-service centres and social centres for the elderly, early education and training centres and special

  • Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong
    Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong The Road Crossing Code It is safer to cross the road using footbridges, subways, “Zebra” crossings or “Green man” crossings. If you cannot find any such crossing facilities nearby, there are some basic steps for crossing roads that you need to observe: 1. Find a safe place where you can see clearly along the roads in all directions for any approaching traffic. 2. When checking traffic, stop a little way back from the kerb where you will be away from traffic. 3. Look all around for traffic and listen. However, electric/hybrid vehicles including motorcycles may operate very quietly. You need to look out for them in addition to listening. If traffic is coming, let it pass. Look all around and listen again. 4. Let the drivers know your intention to cross but do not expect a driver to slow down for you. 5. Do not cross unless you are certain there is plenty of time. Walk straight across the road when there is no traffic near. 6. Keep looking and listening for vehicles that come into sight or come near while you cross. 7. Do not carry out any other activities, such as eating, drinking, playing mobile games,using mobile phones, listening to any audio device or talking while crossing the road. Give all your attention to the traffic. Using crossing facilities Crossing aids are often provided to help you cross busy roads. Footbridges and subways: Footbridges, subways and elevated walkways are the safest places to cross busy roads as they keep pedestrians well away from the dangers of traffic.

    OPERATIONAL REVIEW HONG KONG OVERVIEW AND STRATEGIES Safety, efficiency and teamwork are the cornerstones of TIH’s reputation as one of the world’s leading public transport providers. The two key benchmarks of operational performance across our franchised public bus services are mechanical reliability and operational capability, and statistics show that we have met continuously rising standards. The service excellence that is synonymous with our name is built on two other closely related factors: a strong commitment to working together, and a long tradition of innovation. Over the years, we have made substantial investments in new buses with the latest innovative designs and safety features, including the most advanced, environment-friendly technologies and products. These enhancements allow us to provide our passengers with safer, more convenient and healthier bus rides while contributing to environmental protection. At the same time, we have developed a culture of teamwork: with our customers, with other stakeholders, and within the company. We are always listening and we are always learning ways to improve efficiency. That is why we are constantly rationalising our network and adapting services to meet current demand and changing market conditions, whether in Hong Kong or in our expanding market of China Mainland. As TIH moves forward, teamwork allied to innovation will be the drivers of our future success.
