The 10th commemoration of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake is just around the corner. While it is painstaking to commemorate such an agonizing incident, it also serves to remind us of the devastating disaster risks and the importance of preparing for emergencies.
On 9-13 April 2018, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI), the University of Manchester Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre on Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) and Emergency Capacity Building and the Sichuan University West China Hospital (WCH) collaborated to organize a pre-deployment training for WCH, with the aims of reaching the WHO EMT minimum standards.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI) is inviting tenders for the development of a “One-stop Online Community Portal for Disaster Preparedness Knowledge”, expected to be carried out June 2018 – May 2019.
The HKJCDPRI believes that engaging individuals and communities in disaster planning, preparation, response and recovery is one of the keys to achieve total community response. However, results of various researches revealed the desperate demand for more disaster information in the communities. Information was found to be scattered and the general public are not aware of their access and sources.
