“Arising from the
experience garnered by the SARS Task Forces formed during the crisis
last year, the PA will be encouraging every CCC to set up an
Emergency Preparedness (EP) Group. The EP Groups can then plan
and organise community-level responses to emergencies such as
community outbreaks of infectious diseases, water
shortages and civil emergencies.
