Under the co-ordination of the “Exercise Team” of the HKPF, the stress test covered five specific testing and evaluation areas, including security screening and ticket check; inter-agency co-ordination in response to emergencies; emergency evacuation plan; arrangement at Sung Wong Toi Road Special Bus / Taxi Pick-up / Drop-off Area; and passenger flow management measures at MTR stations.
A number of Government bureaux, departments and organisations had participated in the stress test, including the Security Bureau, the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, the Transport and Logistics Bureau, the Civil Service Bureau, the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau, the Home Affairs Department, the HKPF, the Fire Services Department, the Transport Department, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Civil Aid Service, the Auxiliary Medical Service, the MTR Corporation Limited, the Kai Tak Sports Park Limited and the Hong Kong St. John Ambulance. There were also around 11,000 Government employees from more than 30 bureaux or departments and 1,000 community members, including local residents, being invited to participate in the stress test.
The stress test ran smoothly with the close collaboration among all parties involved. The HKPF will continue to work in concert with relevant Government bureaux, departments and organisations to adopt an incremental approach in conducting the upcoming test events and stress tests. In the meantime, the Force will continuously review and enhance various aspects to ensure full preparedness for the official commissioning of the KTSP.
