Three Basic Skills on Emergency Preparedness

The emergency preparedness skills promoted by the Fire Services Department (FSD) can be grouped into three broad categories, namely “Extinguish and Prevent Fire”, “Self-help and Help Others” and “Escape and Evacuate”. Represented by three different colours, i.e. red, yellow and green, these skills are collectively termed the “Three Basic Skills on Emergency Preparedness”. Getting a good grasp of the “Three Basic Skills on Emergency Preparedness” will help strengthen your capabilities in dealing with emergencies or contingencies.
