  • Plume Countermeasures: Evacuation, Sheltering and Thyroid Blocking
    HKSARGDBCP – Chapter 6 CHAPTER 6 PLUME COUNTERMEASURES: EVACUATION, SHELTERING AND THYROID BLOCKING Introduction 6.1 The principal countermeasures against plume exposure pathways are evacuation, sheltering and thyroid blocking - (a) Evacuation Evacuation is one of the most commonly considered urgent protective actions for people located in close proximity in the event of nuclear or radiological emergency. Timely evacuation can prevent exposures via all possible exposure pathways against all types of radioactive substances by removing individuals from the proximity of the emergency. However, evacuation may be dangerous for special groups in the population, such as non- ambulatory patients, elderly and disabled. Logistic challenges may be faced under adverse weather or traffic conditions. (b) Sheltering Sheltering can also provide effective protection against exposure via major exposure pathways in suitable circumstances. For example, evacuation and thyroid blocking measures may not be practicable during inclement weather such as rainstorm, especially for vulnerable groups of the population. Rapid approach and passage of the plume may also be countered by immediate sheltering. Sheltering is relatively easier to implement but the protection is not total and cannot be sustained over long periods of time. General guidelines for sheltering can be found at Annex 6.1. (c) Thyroid Blocking Radioactive iodine is among the most common fission products released in a nuclear accident. People in close vicinity to the accident site and emergency responders may be exposed to significant levels of radioactive iodine. Infants and young children are the more susceptible groups. Thyroid blocking agent, taken before the arrival of the plume or within a few hours of the arrival of the plume, can effectively block the thyroid gland’s uptake of radioactive iodine and so reduce the risk of thyroid cancer.

Upon completion of the project, the library will adopt the previous name as “North Lamma Public Library”(南丫島北段公共圖書館) and it is planned to commence service in the second quarter of 2019. Self-service library station 2. Besides, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (“LCSD”) has earlier launched a pilot scheme to provide three self-service library stations (“library station”), one each on Hong Kong Island, in Kowloon and in the New Territories. The library stations provide round-the-clock library services such as borrowing, return, payment and pickup of reserved library materials. 3. The locations of the three library stations are the Island East Sports Centre sitting-out area in the Eastern District, outside the Studio Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in the Yau Tsim Mong District and an outdoor area near the Tai Wai MTR Station in the Sha Tin District respectively. The first library station in the Eastern District was opened on 5 December 2017 while the remaining two in the Yau Tsim Mong District and the Sha Tin District are tentatively planned to be opened in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 respectively.

  • Hong Kong Country Overview
    HONG KONG COUNTRY OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION Electric, eclectic, energizing, nonstop, traditional, cosmopolitan, international; there are so many words to describe Hong Kong, one simply has to visit to experience it all. Hong Kong was a British colony from the mid-19th century until 1997 when China resumed sovereignty. The city now operates as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) under China’s ‘one country – two rule system.’ A haven for consumerists, Hong Kong offers some of the best shopping anywhere in the world. The infrastructure is modern and developed which makes getting around easy. On top of that, because of the city’s long history with the western world, English is spoken everywhere making Hong Kong a relatively easy destination to visit compared to other parts of China. 2 ABOUT HONG KONG LANDSCAPE Hong Kong is located at the delta of the Pearl River on China’s Southeast coast. The city is made up of Hong Kong island, and several areas on the mainland peninsula known as Kowloon and the New Territories. In total, the land area is over 1100 km2. CLIMATE Hong Kong enjoys a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and relatively mild winters. It is most likely to rain during the summer months (June, July, August) and this is, therefore, the low travel season. The most popular seasons to visit are Spring with mild temperatures and only occasional rain and autumn which is usually sunny and dry. PEOPLE There are approximately 7.3 million people living in Hong Kong, 95% of whom are of Chinese descent (Mainly Canton people).
