Climate change has led to high temperatures, heavy rainfall, and other extreme weather events. Communities in remote rural areas are particularly vulnerable to typhoons and flooding, which threaten lives and property. In urban areas, vulnerable communities living in inadequate housing face disaster risks due to cramped, unsanitary, and poorly ventilated environments.

By supporting Community Resilience Service of Hong Kong Red Cross, you can help us enhance the resilience of high-risk communities in both urban and rural areas.

4. Disaster Emergency Drills: Familiarizing residents with procedures and skills for handling emergencies.

5. Small-scale Home and Community Improvement: Enhancing safety in communities and homes.
6. Organizing Social Activities: Strengthening community cohesion.
