Safe Community Hub
The “Safe Community Hub” (The Hub) run by the Inter-departmental Counter Terrorism Unit (ICTU) is the first experience centre with the theme of counter-terrorism (CT) in Hong Kong, aiming at further promoting the message of “Safe Community” to the public.
The Hub, with an area of about 8,000 square feet, features the respective dedicated exhibition and interactive experience zones of the member departments of ICTU. These interactive experiences include virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR), motion detection, interactive hologram, and flight simulation, allowing participants to experience how to mitigate the risk of terrorist attacks and ensure personal and community safety.
There are several photo-taking spots and a mini theatre where special programmes with simulated scenario and special effect will be arranged for participants to experience how to apply the advisories of “Run, Hide, Report” and “Spot and Report”, in case of terrorist attacks or violent incidents.
