Two representatives of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI) participated in the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM) Congress held on 7 – 10 May 2019. The WADEM Congress is a biennial international event which provides an interactive and stimulating environment for participants to share research and findings, exchange ideas and best practices and network with peers.
With a theme of “The Future”, the Congress 2019 held in Brisbane, Australia included over 30 tracks with high profile speakers, as well as a wide range of interactive sessions for participants to share experience and knowledge gained from their work. During the congress, the HKJCDPRI representatives shared two projects with congress participants at the poster presentation and oral presentation sessions.
During the poster presentation session, Ms Angel Ng, Senior Manager of the HKJCDPRI, presented a study entitled “Mental Health Impacts on People Living in Subdivided Flats in Hong Kong”. In collaboration with the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (HKSKH) Lady MacLehose Centre, the study was a mixed quantitative and qualitative study to investigate the impact of poor living conditions such as fire risks, environmental health risks and other chronic health issues in subdivided flats on the residents.
During the oral presentation session, Ms Tiffany Yeung, Manager (Professional Development) of the HKJCDPRI, shared with the audience a survey conducted by the HKJCDPRI entitled “Typhoon Preparedness Measures of the Hong Kong Public for Typhoon Mangkhut” and its associated survey findings. The aim of the study was to understand the general Hong Kong public’s awareness and views on the super typhoon that slammed Hong Kong in September 2018 and precautionary measures carried out. The public’s information seeking behaviours and self-reported confidence in their knowledge on typhoon preparedness was also investigated. More details of the study and the analysis can be seen in another report (click this link).
Since 2015, the HKJCDPRI has actively participated in the WADEM Congress by sharing of experience and exchange of ideas with the congress participants. The knowledge and insights gained for the HKJCDPRI’s learning for continuous improvement of work is invaluable.

The Annual Conference on Disaster Preparedness and Response 2019 to be held on 29 June 2019 (Sat) at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building is the fourth of this series of conferences, following previous successful events in with the themes of From Community to Emergency Room in 2015; Building a Resilient Health System in 2016 and Emerging Challenges and Opportunities Ahead in 2018.
Today, 55% of the world’s population lives in urban cities and the figure will surge to 68% by 2050 according to the United Nations. Many metropolitan cities are still growing and changing rapidly, creating more natural and technological threats complicated by the structural, social, energy and environmental development. If defenses fail, the human and economic toll can be enormous. The emerging disaster risks should not be the concern for disaster management practitioners only but for all industries that might be affected by the impact of catastrophes. It is imperative that we embrace the concept of resilience and adapt our management practice to meet the demands of an environment with evolving threats in a multi-sectoral and collaborative approach.
With a theme of “Reduce Risks · Build Resilience”, the 2019 annual conference aims to provide a platform for knowledge sharing, information exchange, discussion of latest developments, networking and partnership building across different sectors of players in disaster risk reduction work. The conference will bring together experts and practitioners, government officials, social services, businesses and researchers to share experience and ideas on reducing risks and building resilience!
