Chief Executive Lee Ka-chiu said that in terms of the early warning of typhoon signal No. 9, no matter how hard the observatory staff worked, weather changes, especially those of Typhoon Puppy, were very fast and sudden, and technology also limited how much time the Observatory might have to turn the typhoon signal No. 8 to 9. The warning signal of the typhoon signal tells the public that when the technology is feasible, the Observatory will definitely notify the public in advance.
Li Ka-chiu was asked before the executive meeting that the Hong Kong Observatory only issued a 15-minute warning before issuing the No. 9 typhoon signal. Many citizens and tourists were stranded at the MTR station. He thought how the Hong Kong Observatory handled the situation and why the government did not have any diversion arrangements. Li Jiachao responded that the Observatory has tried its best this time, but there is no best, only better. We will learn from experience in the early warning system and review current technology to see if there are any methods that can be used as a reference. Observatory staff will continue to work hard.
He said that in the past, the transition from typhoon signal No. 8 to No. 9 typhoon signal was relatively rare. To a certain extent, the public must be self-warning. After the typhoon signal No. 8 was issued, the Observatory also mentioned that it would pay attention to changes and may raise a higher typhoon signal. .
As for transportation arrangements, Li Ka-chiu said that he agreed that it was not ideal for a large number of tourists and citizens to be stranded. He had asked the Transport and Logistics Bureau, MTR, Airport Authority and the transportation industry to study new methods to improve relevant arrangements, and asked them to conduct a review as soon as possible. .
