Police have reported that a second stress test, held today at the Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground and Kai Tak Arena, both at the Kai Tak Sports Park, ran smoothly.

The test was held to evaluate the capabilities of the venues, and nearby facilities, in hosting events at close to full capacity.

Under the co-ordination of the force's Exercise Team, the test covered five specific aspects: security screening and ticket checks; inter-agency co-ordination in response to emergencies; emergency evacuation plans; arrangements at a bus and taxi pick-up and drop-off area on Sung Wong Toi Road; and passenger flow management measures at MTR stations.

The Security Bureau, the Culture, Sports & Tourism Bureau, the Transport & Logistics Bureau, the Civil Service Bureau, the Home & Youth Affairs Bureau, the Home Affairs Department, the Fire Services Department, the Transport Department and the Leisure & Cultural Services Department all participated in the test.

Other participating organisations included the Civil Aid Service, the Auxiliary Medical Service, the Mass Transit Railway Corporation, the Kai Tak Sports Park Limited and St. John Ambulance.

Around 11,000 Government employees from more than 20 bureaus or departments, and around 1,000 community members, including local residents, were also invited to participate.

The force said it will work in concert with relevant Government bureaus, departments and organisations to adopt an incremental approach in conducting further test events and stress tests.

It added that it will continuously review and enhance various aspects to ensure full preparedness for the sports park's official commissioning.
