Again, as with rain warnings, listen to radio/TV. If students
have already set out for school when the Number 8 is hoisted,
the school is responsible until arrangements have been made
for them to return home.
KGV has its contingency plans which are reviewed.
In the case of examinations, the Hong Kong Examinations Authority
will make announcements as they have local control of all
British examinations. If there is no announcement of postponement,
examinations run as usual.
