Regarding the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, the Social Welfare Department (SWD) is providing welfare services and other supports (including financial assistance) to affected residents with the “one social worker per household” service arrangement. Residents do not need any registration card as documentary proof.
In response to the public concern over the Emergency Relief Chit, the SWD clarified that the chits are only a record for residents who had received Emergency Relief Services at temporary shelters. It is irrelevant to the “one social worker per household” service.
The SWD social workers are reaching out to all affected residents. Residents not yet in touch with the SWD are advised to leave their contact information by calling 182 183.
