寧準確

上周四未到中午就宣布中小學幼稚園翌日停課。今次停課爭議,源於天文台預測暴雨可能高達三百九十毫米(全年雨量六分之一)。結果天公非常造美,翌日幾乎一滴雨都無。 有家長苦主上網申訴,停課那天是阿仔小六畢業禮,重大日子,家長預早請假準備見證。若是天意下暴雨,當然無奈接受,如今人為決定以致活動取消,條氣唔順,是可理解的。而當局社交媒體亦因此遭洗版狂轟。 政務司司長及後解釋,若按慣例俟清晨決定,市民會更狼狽,故選擇「超前部署」。但問題是,暴雨預測本就「瞬息萬變」,愈早預測誤差愈大。而實情是,在周四上午十一時許到周五清晨之間,還有很多可檢視雨勢會否減弱的觀察空間,惟司長一句「寧安全、莫後悔」,似乎未能打動受停課影響之家長。 今次停課爭議,反映極端天氣應變機制仍需改善和磨合。與其晨早宣布「一刀切」停課,日後也可考慮分階段應變: 一、「預警級別」機制:參考颱風信號,暴雨警告也可分「觀察期」(提前十八小時預警)、「戒備期」(提前六小時評估)、「行動期」(最終決定)。學校在此預警級別機制下,會有更多時間預備和計劃,而非只能直接取消活動。 二、區域化停課:惡劣天氣有時並非影響全香港島九龍新界所有區域。我們以前也曾經歷過,只是某一區域天氣仍然惡劣(又或遭受天氣惡劣而出現情況,如水浸),其他區域則已回復正常,那處理這個情況,也可以考慮多一點彈性思維,毋須下下一刀切實施。例如經準確評估後,預計離島、新界北水浸風險高,那可預先宣布離島、新界北需要停課;而市區學校則可按天氣預警級別機制再作評估和調整。區域化停課最適合只是部分區域受天氣惡劣影響的情況,有很多城市已經採用。 其實香港人從來唔怕麻煩,但最怕毫無意義的麻煩。「安全」固然要,但觀察近年民情,其實市民更希望的,是見到官員在每次影響民生的判斷和決定上,能做到「寧準確」。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link
