The Operations Wing of Kowloon East Region of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) today (March 25) conducted the second phase of an inter-departmental tabletop exercise for the Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP), codenamed “WINGEDTIGER”, at the Kowloon East Regional Headquarters. The exercise aimed to enhance collaboration and immediate response capabilities among relevant government bureaux, departments and stakeholders in responding to emergencies in transportation services during large-scale events.
The exercise built on insights from the first phase of the tabletop exercise completed on October 25, 2024, and data collected from a number of subsequent large-scale test events and stress tests, which showed approximately 70 per cent of participants chose to take the MTR Tuen Ma Line during large-scale events at the KTSP. As such, this exercise, which was based on the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens simulated different emergency scenarios involving train operations and signal systems at nearby MTR stations, causing varying degrees of impact to the MTR Tuen Ma Line service.
The exercise aimed to enhance stakeholders’ ability to immediately deploy manpower, implement appropriate contingency measures, and coordinate inter-departmental actions according to different emergency situations, so as to minimise impacts on participants of large-scale events and local residents near the KTSP, as well as ensuring their safety and smooth mobility.
Supported by 13 government bureaux, departments and relevant organisations, over 150 representatives participated in the exercise, including personnel from the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, the Transport and Logistics Bureau, the Security Bureau, the HKPF, the Fire Services Department, the Hospital Authority, the Civil Aid Service, the Auxiliary Medical Service, the Transport Department, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Home Affairs Department (Wong Tai Sin District Office and Kowloon City District Office), the MTR Corporation Limited and the KTSP Limited.
