Community Disaster Preparedness Event on 29 August in Yue Wan Estate, Chai Wan
Community Disaster Preparedness Event on 29 August in Yue Wan Estate, Chai Wan
Hong Kong has suffered its fair share of extreme disaster events owing to the climate change. Yet, most of us are unaware how prepared Hong Kong is for the impacts of disasters.
To enhance the awareness and understanding of general public on various hazards and their related risks to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI) will launch a series of public education campaigns jointly with different community-based organisations, hoping to raise the community’s preparedness and resilience of natural and manmade disasters.
We are delighted to receive the support from the Civil Aid Service (CAS) and Eastern District Council in our first community activity entitled “Safer Living - Reducing Disasters Risks”, which will be held at Yue Wan Community Hall (Chai Wan) on 29th August (Saturday). The activity will feature both demonstration on emergency rescue and useful information on how we can prepare for the disasters. All members of the public are welcome. Admission is free.
