Typhoons and Rainstorm Procedures
Communication
In the event of a typhoon or rainstorm, staff and parents are advised to pay attention to any broadcasts on radio, TV, the EDB website and the school website as other communication networks are often overwhelmed during such events. The school will send an email but these may be ineffective due to technical difficulties.
