As a potential Typhoon Signal 10 approaches Hong Kong in the coming days, we prioritize your safety above all. We're sharing tailored precautions for your specific locations. Stay informed via the Hong Kong Observatory, secure your home, and stock up on essentials like water, food, and medications for 48+ hours. Charge devices, avoid travel.
In Mid-Levels' elevated areas, strong winds can create powerful drafts through your apartment. Keep all windows and doors closed to prevent pressure buildup—never open windows on both opposite sides of the apartment simultaneously. Secure lightweight items inside to avoid them being caught in gusts. Place towels or cloths at the base of windows to absorb any water seepage (it is normal) caused by driving rain.
Nearby roads may be blocked by fallen trees, potentially taking a day or two to fully clear—plan for limited access and avoid unnecessary travel.
For apartments with a balcony, clear and secure balcony items (e.g., plants, furniture) indoors.
Our Island East properties feature balconies exposed to coastal winds. Clear and secure balcony items (e.g., plants, furniture) indoors immediately. For strong wind drafts, seal windows tightly and avoid cross-ventilation by not opening opposite sides at once.
Similar to Island East, Island South apartments with balconies face intense sea breezes. Remove or tie down all balcony objects to prevent them from becoming projectiles. Strong winds can create powerful drafts through your apartment—potentially causing doors to bang shut and harm you, children, or pets. Combat strong wind drafts by keeping windows shut and using towels or tape to seal gaps if needed.

Wan Chai's denser urban setting adds unique risks to your balcony-equipped apartment. Secure balcony items indoors without delay. As your unit faces other buildings, stay clear of windows — falling debris from neighboring structures may pose a danger during high winds.
Stay safe, and wishing you all protection through this storm.
