The government’s civil protection structure introduced a mobile application and an official WeChat account yesterday for users to receive details of weather hazards and information about public transport, shelters and schools during extreme weather conditions.
The announcement for the new application was made by Unitary Police Service (SPU) Commissioner-General Ma Io Kun yesterday during a press conference by the government’s civil protection structure – which consists of 29 government entities and private organisations– at the Immigration Department Building in Pac On in Taipa, where the government’s Civil Protection Operations Centre is located.
Ma pointed out that the Public Security Forces have increased various broadcasting and alarm systems for residents in the city’s low- and high-lying areas. The low-lying areas now have 140 loudspeakers, while the high-lying areas’ alarm system has been increased to four speakers.
