To promote best practices in disaster research and evaluation, the Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights partnered with Curtin University, Kunming Medical University, the Centre for Victims of Torture Nepal and CCOUC to develop a research training guide and accompanying study tools. The resulting manual provides guidance for creating effective research questions, building strong partnerships, and collecting data in emergencies, illustrated with real-life examples.

Terrorist attacks are one of the new global challenges. In recent years, mass gathering events have become the target of attacks. The November 2015 Paris attacks, 2016 Nice truck attack, Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 etc. Fortunately, Hong Kong has not experienced any terrorist attacks but we cannot exclude such risks. We can proactively prepare ourselves, raise our awareness and enhance our ability to respond. We envision a prepared community in Hong Kong to respond to disasters in a timely, coordinated and efficient manner to save lives and relieve suffering. Apart from natural disasters, we should also pay high attention to emergency incidents. We encourage everyone to be prepared for danger in times of peace when attending mass gathering event.

In response to the 1972 Po Shan Road landslide tragedy, and considering the fact that the landscape of the Po Shan hillside is susceptible to landslide due to high groundwater levels, the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) has recently designed and introduced an innovative and sustainable groundwater regulation system in a bid to supplement its current measures against landslide.
The new system enables real-time monitoring and control to regulate the groundwater levels, thereby substantially alleviating the risk of major landslides in the area. The project was awarded the Second Runner-up in the construction category of Innovation Award for the Engineering Industry 2012/13 given its effectiveness in control of groundwater level and its robustness.
