Hong Kong braces for typhoon season with 50,000 sandbags, flood barriers

Hong Kong is preparing for the upcoming typhoon season by deploying 50,000 sandbags and water-filled flood barriers. Authorities are also completing enhancement works at the high-risk Tseung Kwan O promenade by year-end. The Civil Engineering and Development Department has released new shoreline management guidelines for coastal communities, property managers, and businesses. These guidelines offer practical advice, including visual aids, on constructing protective measures against high tides and flooding. This proactive approach aims to mitigate potential damage and ensure public safety during severe weather events.
