Dear Members

Our people on motherland are still suffering from the effect of Sichuan Earthquake. I understand that many of us have been showing our supports to them on different aspects.

The Government of HKSAR has proposed a very meaningful project to install Monitoring Systems to give advance warning to the landslide-dammed lakes (堰塞湖) which if further damaged can flood a living plane of some half a million people.

The budget of this project is HK$3.0 million. FEMC & EMCA on behalf of all stakeholders of E&M contracting industry committed to supporting the project. FSICA fully supports this commitment.

Development Bureau together with professional bodies and contractor associations will set up a special account for this and future relief projects.

I appeal your support and act immediately to donate generously for this very meaningful project.  Please contact Ling Ho for the donation details.

二零零八年五月十二日,中國四川省發生黎克特制8級地震,廣泛地區受到破壞,我相信各同業已經通過不同渠道捐款賑災。

地震發生後,造成北川部分地區被堰塞湖水淹沒,地震形成了大面積堰塞湖泊,如果設防不利,一旦堰塞湖決堤,其損害程度不下于一次地震。香港特別行政區政府發展局提出項目安裝監控系統給事前警告,防止再造成另一個災害。 這個項目預算是港幣3百萬。香港機電工程商聯會(FEMC)及香港機電工程商協會(EMCA)代表機電工程界承諾支持,消防商會(FSICA)全力支持並作出支援。

發展局將會設立機制,並安排開設銀行帳戶,收集捐款以協助項目進行。

我呼籲您的支持並且立刻行動為這個非常意味深長的項目慷慨地捐贈。

請與Ling Ho聯絡關於捐贈細節。

一方有難,八方支援,團結就是力量,請大家慷慨捐款,將希望送達四川災區。
