Community Campaign on Disaster Resilience for Residences Living in Squatter Houses at Kwong Pan Tin Tsuen (光板田村)

 

Squatter houses are regarded as unauthorized structures, though they are allowed to remain in existence on a temporary basis. Limited  permanent intervention and resources are allocated, to improve their living environment, safety and hygiene condition. Risks on disastrous fire and diseases outbreak are inherited from the historical context. HKJCDPRI and its collaborating partner, HKSKH Lady MacLehose Centre, adopts a bottom-up community based approach to ensure participatory of the villages at Kwong Pan Tin Tsuen throughout the campaign cycle.  Fire and hygiene ambassadors were elected from the village, who would lead and mobilize their community members to continuously learn and take preparedness measures towards the 2 more prominent hazards. Relevant workshops were organizaed, and educational materials (including the “Hazard and Resources Map” and “Disaster Game” were produced), to pave their way towards resilience enhancement.
