HKPF conducts inter-departmental counter-terrorism and major incident exercise in preparation for 15th National Games (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Emergency Unit of New Territories South of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) today (August 8) conducted an inter-departmental counter-terrorism and major incident exercise, codenamed “FLYINGEAGLE”, “YELLOWFORTRESS” and “RAINARROW” at the Penny’s Bay Community Isolation Facility, Fantasy Road, Lantau Island. The exercise aimed to enhance the communication, co-ordination and immediate response capabilities among relevant government departments and stakeholders in dealing with emergencies during the 15th National Games (NG).

     The exercise simulated three emergency scenarios during the cross-boundary road cycling race of the 15th NG: a terrorist-initiated car ramming and shooting against spectators; spectators breaching the race route and colliding with cyclists causing mass casualties; and a missing child case. The exercise aimed to test and enhance the abilities of relevant government departments and stakeholders to effectively deploy manpower, subdue attackers, as well as co-ordinate emergency evacuation and rescue operations under various contingencies.
      
     Over 300 representatives from 10 government departments and relevant organisations participated in the exercise, including personnel from the National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong), the HKPF, the Department of Health, the Hospital Authority, the Fire Services Department, the Immigration Department, the Civil Aid Service, the Auxiliary Medical Service, the Cycling Association of Hong Kong, China Limited and the Hong Kong Association for Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine.

     The Police will continue to maintain close collaboration with relevant government departments and stakeholders, review contingency plans and make comprehensive preparations for the upcoming 15th NG to ensure public safety and the smooth running of the events.
