寶珊道在1972年發生山泥傾瀉悲劇，針對有關地段地形較易形成高地下水位，從而引發山泥傾瀉的問題， 土力工程處設計並建立創新及可持續地下水位調控系統，配合現行措施防止山泥傾瀉。

 

新系統能實時監控及調節地下水水位，大大減少區內大型山泥傾瀉的風險。此系統具穩健性，能有效控制地下水水位，因而獲得2012/2013工程創意大獎建造組別第三名。|

 

香港賽馬會災難防護應變教研中心及香港醫學專科學院獲土力工程處邀請，在2017年10月23日參觀寶珊排水隧道，了解山泥傾瀉安全措施。在參觀期間，雙方交流與災難防護及應變有關公眾教育的意見及經驗。

土力工程處人員講解寶珊排水隧道的運作模式。

超強颱風山竹襲港迄今超過1個月，街道上還殘留山竹帶來的瘡痍景致，香港賽馬會災難防護應變教研中心在山竹襲港後即時委託香港大學民意調查計劃，就「公眾對防風措施的認知及意見」進行一項簡短調查，並於今天公佈調查結果。

調查發現，有近一半受訪者(45%)在山竹襲港時，用膠紙貼窗以防玻璃爆裂，這是市民主要的防風準備。只有極少數在風災期間有作停電(1%)和停水(2%)的準備，而逾三成半受訪者(36%)表示完全沒為風災作任何準備；調查又發現有超過一半受訪者(55%)認為容易找到防災準備的資訊，包括從報章或社交平台得來的資訊。

Background

Medical records are a tenet of good medical practice and provide one method of communicating individual follow-up arrangements, informing research data, and documenting medical intervention.

Methods

The objective of this review was to look at one source (the published literature) of medical records used by foreign medical teams (FMTs) in sudden onset disasters (SODs). The published literature was searched systematically for evidence of what medical records have been used by FMTs in SODs.

Findings

The style and content of medical records kept by FMTs in SODs varied widely according to the published literature. Similarly, there was great variability in practice as to what happens to the record and/or the data from the record following its use during a patient encounter. However, there was a paucity of published work comprehensively detailing the exact content of records used.

Interpretation

Without standardization of the content of medical records kept by FMTs in SODs, it is difficult to ensure robust follow-up arrangements are documented. This may hinder communication between different FMTs and local medical teams (LMTs)/other FMTs who may then need to provide follow-up care for an individual. Furthermore, without a standard method of reporting data, there is an inaccurate picture of the work carried out. Therefore, there is not a solid evidence base for improving the quality of future response to SODs. Further research targeting FMTs and LMTs directly is essential to inform any development of an internationally agreed minimum data set (MDS), for both recording and reporting, in order that FMTs can reach the World Health Organization (WHO) standards for FMT practice.
