IPIM Sets up Hotline Addressing Mangkhut’s Impact

As Super Typhoon Mangkhut is approaching, the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) now calls on all citizens to stay safe and keep up vigilance against the inclement weather. Should you need to handle any issues including registration and document submission at IPIM after the typhoon has left the city, please call IPIM’s hotline (853) 2871 0300/ 6218 3063 (general services) / (853) 6218 3090 (investment residency services) to know whether the services concerned are affected.








Super Typhoon “Mangkhut” Information Issue time: 2018/09/14 18H00

The Super Typhoon “Mangkhut” is now over the western North Pacific. It is well developed with a large gale circle. The maximum wind speed near its center has reached 240km/h. “Mangkhut” is forecasted to enter within 800 km of Macao on 15th morning and Typhoon Signal No.1 will be issued at the same time. Since “Mangkhut” will approach the coast of Guangdong and pose considerable threat to Macao and the Pearl River Delta, Typhoon Signal No.3 is expected to be issued on 15th night. As the latest forecast track of “Mangkhut” has adjusted to the north slightly, “Mangkhut” will cause serious impact on Macao when it comes closest to Macao on 16th. Frequent squalls and heavy showers are expected and there will also be serious flooding, around 1.0 to 2.5m above road level in low-lying areas due to storm surge.


Contingency arrangements made by IACM to manage its greening facilities during tropical cyclones

If “Tropical Cyclone Signal no. 8 or above” is changed to “Tropical Cyclone Signal no. 3”, the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) will conduct inspection and assessment of all the greening and leisure facilities under its management to safeguard public safety. To avoid influence on its front line staff to carry out inspection of the places and emergency actions, the facilities will be closed to the public during the period. For those places that are equipped with gates or main entrances and exits, a notice sign will be put there to inform the public that they are closed temporarily. Members of the public should take note of it and consider using the facilities after the “list of reopened facilities” is announced.
