Work arrangement under ‘extreme condition’

Typhoons and rainstorms are a regular summer occurrence in Hong Kong. Helen learns that the government has announced a revised Code of Practice in Times of Typhoons and Rainstorms. Under ‘extreme condition’ caused by super typhoons, like serious disruption of public transport services, extensive flooding, major landslides or large-scale power outage, government may issue an ‘extreme condition’ announcement.

When ‘extreme condition’ is in force, i.e. the two-hour period after cancellation of Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No.8, apart from essential staff, staff should stay in their current place or safe places. By the end of the two-hour period, stay alert to government’s announcement that whether ‘extreme condition’ will be extended or cancelled. Once ‘extreme condition’ is over, colleagues should follow the work arrangement and resume work. If there is any delay on the way to work, inform your supervisor on appropriate arrangement of work. For details, please visit the circular on intranet.
