Community Disaster Preparedness Event in Yue Wan Estate, Chai Wan

Hong Kong has suffered its fair share of extreme weather owing to climate change globally. Yet, most of the citizens are not aware of how Hong Kong might prepare for disasters.

To enhance awareness and understanding of general public on various hazards and their related risks to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness and Response Institute will launch a series of public education campaigns jointly with community-based organisations, hoping to raise the community’s preparedness of and resilience to natural and manmade disasters.

We are delighted to receive the support from the Civil Aid Service (CAS) and Eastern District Council in our first community activity entitled “Safer Living - Reducing Disasters Risks”, which will be held at Yue Wan Community Hall (Chai Wan) on 29 August 2015. The event will feature demonstration on emergency rescue and useful information on preparing for disasters. Admission is free and all members of the public are welcome.
