制訂IT應變措施 抵禦禽流感疫潮
1997年,香港出現全球首宗禽流感個案,幸得當時的特區政府及時銷毀全港百萬計的雞隻,香港才得以避免了大量人命的傷亡。
八年後的今天,禽流感不但已成為了香港的風土病,而且更對全球造成危機,威脅全人類的性命。據估計,一旦爆發人傳人的禽流感疫症,將會導致數以千萬計、甚至數以億計的人死亡。
盡早做好預防禽流感措施
面對禽流感危機,香港絕不可能置身事外。事實上,香港是候鳥南遷必經之地,每年有數萬隻候鳥由西伯利亞停留內地再到本港,然後在澳洲過冬。過去兩星期,內地已經出現了大規模感染禽流感疫症,香港在地理上緊連中國大陸,兩地每天的人流交往又甚為頻繁,爆發禽流感可說是遲早的事。根據政府的推算,禽流感可能會令香港一百萬人受感染、五十萬人死亡。因此,特區政府和市民實在有必要盡早做好預防禽流感的措施。
政府首要的基本工作,當然是要加強檢疫工作,確保中港兩地的通報機制運作暢順,同時要主動公佈疫情資料,購買足夠的藥物和疫苗。其次,政府應該向僱主、學校等發出指引,如在哪些情況下僱員和學生不應上班及上學,加強教育公眾預防禽流感的方法。此外,政府也要盡快研究在爆發禽流感時,以甚麼措施協助各企業和公共機構維持它們的日常運作,減低疫情所帶來的經濟損失和衝擊。
透過資訊科技提升應變能力
沙士一疫的經驗告訴我們,透過應用資訊科技,有助提升企業的應變能力,讓企業員工可透過互聯網繼續在家工作,保持各類型的商業活動或機構的基本運作。在2003年爆發沙士疫症期間,我和資訊科技界以及政府在當時便舉辦了的一個名為「DO IT!—信心創前路 科技創未來」的活動,協助超過二千間的企業借助資訊科技取代他們必須的服務,從而減輕疫症對公司、以至整體經濟的影響。當時,我們也藉此機會,結合資訊科技和醫學界的力量,探討如何把資訊科技應用於醫療服務上,進一步提升本地的醫療服務水平。
因此,特區政府應該防患於未然,及早向企業和公共機構加強宣傳,尤其是直接影響主要經濟活動或市民日常生活的行業或機構,如金融、銀行、公共事業、交通運輸,以至政府部門,促使他們盡快更新和檢查有關的資訊科技設備,並發出指引,確保企業能有足夠的應變能力和設施,應付一旦突如其來的疫潮。
由於一旦爆發禽流感,政府可能會封關,停止一切人流活動,只維持貨流運作。若出現這種情況,港商在大陸的工廠雖然仍可生產,但香港的員工便不能北上工作,兩地的商業活動將會受到嚴重影響。由是,企業可趁此機會引進資訊科技來進行視像會議,處理文件往來,以及進行電子交易等。
除了商界之外,在學校方面,由於在疫潮其間也可能須要長時間停課,故此,各教育機構必須及早釐訂應變措施,以網絡作為教育平台,確保停課期間能把教授的課程內容擺放於網上,讓學生可自行下載、瀏覽,以繼續學習。老師和學生亦可以利用網絡上的通訊工具如e-mail、ICQ和MSN等保持溝通,協助老師解決學生在自學期間所遇到的困難,增加網上學習的效能。
