An integrated command system developed by Tsinghua University for the management of public emergencies will help advance Macau’s overall emergency capability, according to Chief Executive, Chui Sai On. Chui made the comments last week in Beijing during a meeting with the Chairperson of the University Council of Tsinghua University, Chen Xu, and with representatives from the University’s Institute for Public Safety Research. Chui added that he hoped the visit to Tsinghua University would help foster cooperation between the command system development team and Macau’s public departments responsible for emergency management, so as to enhance the process of the system’s launch.

48-hour automatic weather broadcast under test

The Macau Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG) is adding a new function, an automatic weather forecast, to its official website. The 48-hour Automatic Weather Forecast feature, which is still a system under testing, is present on the SMG’s official website. The forecast system provides hourly forecasts of temperature and relative humidity at the station in Taipa Grande for the forthcoming 48 hours. It will be updated once every three hours. The forecast system refers to several global numerical weather predictions.
