我們的天文台,在上周颱風「派比安」襲港期間,因為默守成規、不識變通、只管按本子辦事,而犯下了一個幾乎致命的錯誤。
天文台台長林超英,事後仍然力撐,指天文台僅懸掛三號強風信號,而不改掛八號烈風信號,是正確的做法。
乜話?正確?也閉O吧,因為天文台仍然沿用七十年代的警報機制,以維港內的風速來作指標。大有可能,我們的天文台長以及一眾科學主任,都是居住於維港兩岸、依山而建的政府宿舍,故完全感覺不到「派比安」的威力;可憐我們這些天水圍呀、東涌呀、將軍澳呀等等的新界「平地」居民,就在烈風橫雨之中膽戰心驚!
七十年代的機制?虧他還說得出口!換言之,有關的機制三十多年來從沒有被檢討修訂過?他們這班人到底幾十年來在幹甚麼的?如果我們的警隊仍然是七十年代的作風,如果我們的醫療衛生仍然是七十年代的水準,如果我們的課本自七十年代至今從未修訂過,這還成世界麼?
不過,算天文台長好命!這場「三號風球」並沒有構成重大人命傷亡。如果一個唔好彩,死了三五七個人,你這個台長還能做得下去麼?
今次姑且寫到呢度,下次我不會咁客氣了!
