發佈會首先由教研中心經理(社區協作)陳靜怡小姐簡介教研中心及香港聖公會麥理浩夫人中心團體及社區工作部共同策劃的『「無惘。知災」舊區居民社區教育計劃』，然後由項目幹事馮樂婷小姐以及研究員王琼澧博士詳述「有關風災對不適切居所居民影響調查」數據及分析。
其中一項調查結果發現接近八成(76.7%)受訪者評定自己的「防風意識」為合格 (5分或以上)，但調查亦發現超過六成(64.4%)受訪者居住的大廈曾受颱風影響，包括水渠淤塞、停電、電掣著火等；而只有不足兩成(19.2%)的受訪者曾預早儲備飲用水和電筒，反映不少住戶誤判其防風災意識，未有採取適當的預防措施，保障自己及家人的安全。
兩位葵青區的居民亦到場分享2018年超強颱風「山竹」對他們居所造成的破壞及生活不便。

此外，教研中心總監羅信堂先生聯同香港聖公會麥理浩夫人中心團體及社區工作部主管吳堃廉先生按政策、社區及個人層面分享調查建議，其中包括建議社區持份者（如政府部門、非政府機構、民間組織、學校等）按社區所面對的災害風險及現有的資源擬定防災計劃，例如設定各單位在應災時的角色、規劃疏散路線、加強巡視容易發生災害的地點、進行防災演練等，共建一個擁有災害管理的「備災」、「 應變」、「恢復」及「減災」4 大階段能力 的韌性社區。
羅信堂先生亦鼓勵市民可從不同的防災機構，了解可靠備災資訊，在災害來臨前作出正確的防備方法，例如在風季前參考由教研中心出版的「家居颱風防備三步曲」，減低颱風帶來的影響。
最後，由香港聖公會麥理浩夫人中心高級服務協調主任陳清華先生作出總結，提醒公眾不要低估風災的嚴重性。

At a critical time when collective action is essential to correct the failures of climate change, biodiversity loss and infectious disease, nations are more fragmented than ever. The 15th edition of the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report has been published as the world stands at the brink of unprecedented climate-related emergencies. The report calls for a multi-stakeholder approach, cautioning that opting to ride out the current period in the hope that the global system will “snap back” runs the risk of missing crucial windows to address pressing challenges.
At a critical time when collective action is essential to correct the failures of climate change, biodiversity loss and infectious disease, nations are more fragmented than ever. The 15th edition of the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report has been published as the world stands at the brink of unprecedented climate-related emergencies. The report calls for a multi-stakeholder approach, cautioning that opting to ride out the current period in the hope that the global system will “snap back” runs the risk of missing crucial windows to address pressing challenges.
The report connects ten of the most crucial risks over the coming decade to climate change. These include extreme weather, climate action failure, natural disasters, biodiversity loss, human-made environmental disasters, data fraud or theft, cyberattacks, water crises, global governance failures and asset bubbles.
Climate change is striking harder and more rapidly than expected. Record-breaking temperatures, increasingly frequent natural disasters, and as-yet unknown risks (likely including extreme loss of life, stress on ecosystems, increased migration, exacerbation of geopolitical tensions, trade, labour and supply chain disruption) threaten irreversible harm. Scientists, politicians, and grassroots groups are calling for swift and effective action in the form of a Green New Deal, agreeing that we must limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees by the end of the century.
Beyond the direct impact of climate change, the report points out that destabilising tipping points in nature could exacerbate the social and economic consequences of climate risk. Human-imposed extinction rates are off the charts; and the stress our actions have put on our ecosystem alters Earth’s land surface and impacts ocean area, pollutes habitats and our food chain, introduces non-indigenous species that edge out native ones and obliterates masses of insect populations, coral reefs and phytoplankton. Scientists are calling for a return to nature to explore new therapeutic opportunities -- efforts that are threatened by biodiversity loss.
In Hong Kong, climate change has manifested itself in the form of increasing numbers of severe weather events in recent years. Super Typhoon Hato battered Hong Kong in August 2017 with wind gusts of up to 193 km/h, and went on to cause direct economic loss in excess of HKD38 billion in Macao, as well as in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Guizhou and Yannan.[1] It was followed by Super Typhoon Mangkhut, which impacted Guam, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Southern China in September 2018. The fifth tropical cyclone to affect Hong Kong that year, Mangkhut injured at least 458 people in the SAR, and paralyzed sea, land and air transportation services with destruction caused by heavy rain, storm surges and high waves.[2]
It is anticipated that climate change will continue to accelerate the frequency of severe weather events on a global scale. In the context of Hong Kong, this highlights the need to examine not only the direct impact of typhoons and other events, but also their indirect impact on critical infrastructure such as transportation networks and nuclear power plants. However, the current global COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the need to prepare for emergency situations beyond extreme weather events – raising awareness for another set of potential risks and mitigating preparations.
Aiming to build Hong Kong’s disaster resilience, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute (HKJCDPRI) was established in 2014 to provide a platform for comprehensive training, capacity building, research, policy discussion and knowledge exchange. Working to prepare the community for both short-term and long-term impacts of climate change, HKJCDPRI creates learning opportunities for disaster practitioners and the general public – sharing knowledge regarding a range of topics, from disaster preparedness to disease prevention.

If a patient is confirmed to have COVID-19, the Centre of Health Protection (CHP) will carry out epidemiological investigation and contact tracing. For the extent of contact tracing, the CHP will make risk assessment on a case-by-case basis. Close contacts will be put quarantine and other contacts will be put under medical surveillance. In general, persons who have face-to-face interaction for 15 minutes or more with a case who did not wear a surgical mask will be classified as close contacts. Healthcare workers/ clinic staff who have worn adequate personal protection equipment (PPE) will not be considered as contacts in general.

Healthcare workers/ clinic staff who have worn adequate personal protection equipment (PPE) will not be considered as contacts in general.
It is the usual practice of CHP to disclose the name of the buildings visited by confirmed cases from 2 days before onset of symptoms. Hence, the name and district of the building of a clinic will be disclosed if there is a confirmed case. The name of the clinic may also be disclosed.
The following recommendation on Key Elements on Prevention and Control of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Healthcare Settings was issued by CHP on 3 January 2020 (Last updated on 2 March 2020) (available from: https://www.chp.gov.hk/files/pdf/ic_advice_for_nid_in_healthcare_setting.pdf ). CPH reminded healthcare workers/ clinic staff to adhere strictly to infection prevention and control measures when taking respiratory specimens from patients.
