IN THIS RESPECT, MR JE AFFRESON SAID, THE GOVERNMENT HAD THE ADDED RESPONSIBILITY OF EDUCATING THE PUBLIC AND THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY HAD TAKEN ON THIS ROLE.
IN RESPONSE TO THESE REQUIREMENTS, THE GOVERNMENT HAD DONE EVERYTHING IT COULD.
+FOR EXAMPLE IT HAS BUILT TYPHOON SHELTERS AND STABILISED THE HILLSIDES. IT HAS DEVELOPED AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM FOR WARNING THE PUBLIC THAT HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS APPROACHING.
+IT HAS WELL REHEARSED SYSTEMS AND ORGANISATIONS FOR DEALING WITH DISASTERS WHEN THEY DO HAPPEN, AND AT THIS POINT I MUST MAKE PARTICULAR MENTION OF THE EXCELLENT WORK OF THE VOLUNTEER ORGANISATIONS,+ MR JEAFFRESON SAID.
ALSO ADDRESSING THE OPENING WAS THE UNOFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, MRS SELINA CHOW. SHE RECALLED HER INTERESTING EXPERIENCE OF PRESENTING THE WEATHER ON TELEVISION. PARTICULARLY WHEN TYPHOON WANDA HIT HONG KONG AND SHE BROKE ALL RECORDS BY REMAINING ON AIR FOR MORE THAN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS TO DO THE WEATHER REPORT.
AFTER THE CEREMONY, MR JEAFFRESON AND MRS SELINA CHOW, ACCOMPANIED BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY, MR PATRICK SHAM, SAW THE DISPLAYS ON VARIOUS TOPICS OF METEOROLÓGICAL INTEREST.
THE EXHIBITION IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FROM TODAY TILL MONDAY. HOWEVER, DUE TO SPACE LIMITATIONS, ADMITTANCE IS BY TICKET ONLY.
