- An answer for a widely circulated question or a mythbusting article to explain a widely misinterpreted concept.
- Advices given to the fellow readers in times of emergency or in peace time on disaster preparedness.
How do we want our blog articles look like?
- Please use easily understandable, laymen language.
- Aimed at those who may be interested (between professionals and the public), but don't "dumb down" your language.
- Avoid using professional jargons (provide definitions) & acronyms (spell out acronyms).
- The contents should reflect a trending issue or a new scope of interest on an disaster or emergency topic
- Use at least one image / infographics to liven up your article or illustrate ideas.

The HKJCDPRI was established in 2014 with an aim of fostering Hong Kong as a prepared community to disasters through collaborative learning and knowledge dissemination across various sectors. Five years of the establishment phase project have passed with more than 60,000 participants involved in the project. From November 2019, we have entered the second phase of our new project titled “Building Disaster Resilience of Hong Kong”. The goal of our new phase of project is to build disaster resilience of Hong Kong through people-centred, all-hazards and multi-sectoral disaster risk reduction strategies based on informed understanding of disaster risks and solutions.
In the new phase, we will expand sectors of collaboration, create a common goal for cross-sector partnership and develop creative approaches that leverage the best thinking from all sectors. Please stay tuned with us via our website with our new website name, “www.ready.com.hk (English) or www.防災.香港 (Chinese)” and our Facebook !
