The Hong Kong Alumni Association of Guangzhou-based Sun Yat-sen University has established a dedicated WeChat group for Tai Po Fire Emergency Support so its alumni in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region can assist fire victims.
In a Wednesday night post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the alumni association announced the establishment of the group chat, calling on its more than 20,000 SYSU alumni in Hong Kong to provide practical support, including relief supplies, temporary accommodation, and medical consultation.
The group chat connects its members to assistance resources with the HKSAR government, ensures the smooth transmission of emergency information, and cooperates with the government's rescue work arrangements, the post said.
"We will remain engaged with the progress of the SAR government's rescue operations and will promptly disseminate information on official relief channels and alumni-led support initiatives," the alumni association said.
