The rainstorm warning signals are a set of signals used in Hong Kong to alert the public about the occurrence of heavy rain which is likely to bring about major disruptions such as traffic congestion and floods. They also ensure a state of readiness within the essential services to deal with emergencies.[1]
Hong Kong Observatory is responsible for launching these signals and the signals are broadcast over radio and television.
