A global disaster book series is now available free-of-charge in Hong Kong for our kids!
A global disaster book series is now available free-of-charge in Hong Kong for our kids!
The COPE Squad from the picture book series, COPE, is here to teach all Hong Kong kids how to Get Ready and Be Prepared in face of disasters! Under the guidance of Grand Mistress Fu, the four main characters of the series, namely Candy, Ollie, Ping and Eddy form the COPE Squad and undergo intensive training on natural disasters and how to be prepared. COPE's mission is to educate children from all over the world, so they can become COPE Champions to act as disaster role models in their community.
COPE is a series of fun, innovative and beautifully illustrated children’s books intended for global distribution to increase the disaster resilience of children. According to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030), which was adopted at the third United Nations (UN) World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in March 2015, children have a vital role to play in reducing risk, strengthening community resilience and shaping legislation to better protect against disasters. COPE’s touching and humorous illustrations will capture children’s imagination to teach them simple steps for disaster preparedness, which may one day save their lives.
The book targets at young readers aged 9-11 and parents reading to their children, aged 4-8. While the COPE books are written primarily in English with collaborative efforts from various contributors, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI), together with the Hong Kong Observatory, Dr Loretta Tam and Dr Kwan Che Ying, Associate Professor, Centre for Advancement of Chinese Language Education and Research, The University of Hong Kong, have localised the contents of the book for Hong Kong readers. Today, five books, the Earthquake! (“地震!”) ,Get Up To High Ground (“走上高地”) (for Tsunami), COVID-19 (“新冠病毒病”), Flood (“水災”) and Cyclone (熱帶氣旋), have been localised and translated in Chinese.

On 17-19 September 2019, two representatives of the HKJCDPRI participated in the Emergo Train System - Senior Instructor Course held in Brisbane, Australia.
Developed in Sweden in the 1990s, the Emergo Train System (ETS) is a disaster simulation exercise and training system. The ETS is a validated simulation system used in over 35 countries. It makes use of a series of white board and magnetic system to represent capacity and resources. All actions are time-measured so the training outcomes can be measured quantitatively. Whiteboards and magnetic symbols will be used to represent resources available, and a patient bank with descriptions of injuries will be used to represent the needs. During a disaster simulation using the ETS, participants have to make accurate decisions on the use of resources including quantities of various equipments, manpower and time! It is an ideal system for assessing the capacitieis of pre-hospital and hospital responses during major incidents.
Upon completion on the course, two HKJCDPRI staff had become certified ETS Senior Instructors. With this capacity, the HKJCDPRI will utilise the knowledge and skills gained to enhance our current training and bring in new ideas for future training.
Board Incident Site trained participants to use METHANE for reporting
Board Hospital Emergency Department trained participants to prioritise the patients according to urgency of treatment
Mr Gary Law, Manager (Innovative Learning) monitored and assisted the ETS simulation exercise
Mr Jeffrey Shum, Project Officer calculated and wrote the destination, departure time and time the patients arrived in the department
