The Police Force (HKPF) today conducted an inter-departmental counter-terrorism and major incident exercise 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). Over 300 representatives from 10 government departments and relevant organisations participated in the exercise held at the Penny’s Bay Community Isolation Facility, Fantasy Road, Lantau Island. Codenamed “FLYINGEAGLE”, “YELLOWFORTRESS” and “RAINARROW”, the exercise simulated three emergency scenarios during the cross-boundary road cycling race of the 15th NG. The three scenarios included a terrorist-initiated car ramming and shooting against spectators, spectators breaching the race route and colliding with cyclists causing mass casualties, as well as a missing child case. The exercise tested and enhanced 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. The participants included 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 and the Hong Kong Association for Conflict & Catastrophe Medicine.
