ANNUAL DEPARTMENTAL REPORT

by the

DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES

D.R. FORD, J. P.

for the

FINANCIAL YEARS 1972-3 AND 1973-4

1

The following is a brief account of the major developments which affected the work of the Information Services Department during the years 1972-3 and 1973-4.

-

The department has three main divisions news, publicity and public relations, with certain services common to all three. Under a re-organisation of the directorate, early in 1974, each division was headed by an Assistant Director.

NEWS DIVISION

The news division, probably the most familiar service to the Hong Kong public, produces a daily information bulletin in English and Chinese. This bulletin gives factual information on both official policy and public projects, as well as routine notices and statistics. It is distributed to more than 120 newspapers, news agencies and broadcasting stations.

NW TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING SIGNALS

********

The Director of Royal Observatory reminded members of the public today that the new tropical cyclone warning signal system was now in use.

The former Nos- 5* 6, 7 and 8 signals have been replaced by a uniformed No. 8 signal accompanied with directional denotations in both oral and written weather reports.

No. 5 signal has been renamed No. 8NW signal. Its symbol is an upward triangle and the lights are white-green-green.

No. 6 signal has become No. 8SW. The symbol is an inverted triangle and the lights are green-white-white.

No. 7 signal has been renumbered No. 8NE. The symbol is two vertical upward triangles and the lights are green-green-white.

No. 8 signal now reads No. 8SE. The symbol is two vertical inverted triangles and the lights are white-white-green.

All these signals are used as warnings of gales and storms from the various directions. ”Gale” means winds with average mean speed of 3^-47 knots, and ’’storm” means winds with average mean speed between 48-63 knots.

The other signals, that is Nos. 1, 3, 9 and 10, remain unchanged and are still in use.
