– For the new “Rainstorm Warning Signal System”

In line with the new "Rainstorm Warning Signal System" that came into effect in September this year, Cartography and Cadastre Bureau has launched an updated version of "GeoGuide for emergency" mobile map application (App) version 3.1, which displays relevant information such as the level of the issued rainstorm warning signal in real time.

The new "Rainstorm Warning Signal System" is divided into three levels: yellow, red, and black to reflect the risks and impacts of heavy rains of different intensities. The new version of "GeoGuide for emergency" displays the warning level of the rainstorm warning signal issued by the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau in real time to remind users to take appropriate contingency measures. In addition, the App also provides the latest disaster prevention guidelines such as "Class Suspension Arrangements for Schools when a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal, Rainstorm Warning Signal or Special Weather Statement Is Issued", “Storm surge evacuation plan for low-lying areas during typhoon” and “Storm Surge Warning Alert Sound”.

“GeoGuide for emergency” version 3.1 provides maps for emergency in online and offline version, allowing the public to obtain the latest and useful emergency information in response to different emergency situations. “GeoGuide for emergency” can be downloaded for free by searching “GeoGuide for Emergency” either in App store or Google Play, or by scanning the QR Code below.
