Typhoon Ragasa | Will Shenzhen give timely notice of flood discharge? Drainage Services Department: WeChat group established for smoother operations
樺加沙打風︱深圳排洪會否及時通知？ 渠務署：已開 WeChat 群組 運作會更順暢
Super Typhoon Ragasa is gradually approaching the Guangdong coast, prompting concern over whether the mainland will discharge floodwater again and notify Hong Kong in advance. Director of Drainage Services Mok Wing-cheong said Hong Kong and Shenzhen had held meetings and communicated, and had established a WeChat group. If Shenzhen plans to discharge floodwater, it will notify Hong Kong representatives in the group. He believes operations will be smoother than before. Mok said Shenzhen’s water level was currently still at the low flood-control limit, operations were stable, and there was no plan to discharge floodwater. He stressed that once Shenzhen decides to do so, it will notify Hong Kong in a timely manner, enabling the Hong Kong authorities to prepare defensive measures in advance, remind members of the public to avoid passing through the relevant locations, and take protective action as soon as possible.
超強颱風樺加沙正逐步迫近廣東沿岸，外界關注內地會否再次排洪，及提早通知香港。渠務署署長莫永昌指，香港與深圳已有開會溝通，並已建立 WeChat 群組，若深圳打算排洪，會在群組通知香港代表，相信運作會比之前更暢順。 莫永昌稱，目前深圳水位仍處於低防限度水位，運行平穩，並沒有排洪計劃。他強調，一旦深圳決定排洪，會及時向香港通報，以便港方提前做好防禦措施，提醒市民避免途經相關地點，並盡快採取保護行動。
