The SMTFCP is equipped with two dedicated telephone lines (Tel No. 410 0066 and 410 0193) and one dedicated fax line which are manned around the clock to receive emergency messages. The SMTFCP would then relay the emergency message to the various Duty Officers of Transport Department who carry mobile telephones and pagers 24 hours daily for emergency contact purposes. The Duty Officer would seek advice from the Deputy Centre Controller, the Centre Controller, or the Commissioner for Transport on the activation of the ETCC depending on the size and duration of the emergency.
