More than 20 members of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Hong Kong Branch (IMechE-HK) paid a visit to the Hong Kong Observatory on 7 December 2024. Through technical talks, participants learnt about the causes and impacts of earthquakes and tsunamis, together with disaster prevention, as well as real-time tsunami monitoring and prediction techniques. The participants also took a tour to the Seismograph Cellar and the Backup South China Sea Tsunami Advisory Center (Hong Kong).
This event served as an interactive communication platform for the engineering community. The Observatory will continue seizing opportunities to promote knowledge of earthquakes and tsunamis, and strive to enhance public awareness of related disaster prevention.
