TYPHOON SHELTER Sample Clauses

TYPHOON SHELTER. In 1900, a severe storm caused a great deal of damage in Hong Kong. Following the storm, and in the years 1901 to 1902 many demands were made that the government should act to protect the boat people in Hong Kong during the typhoon season.

In his statement he listed a large number of proposed projects including the provision of a typhoon shelter for the increasing number of junks, which had to leave their work early to ensure not being shut out of the limited accommodation in Causeway Bay.
