On 4 June 2010, the Observatory organized a seminar on her lightning alert service. Nearly 70 participants from property management companies as well as operators of swimming pools and outdoor facilities under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department attended the seminar. The seminar covered the location-specific lightning alert service and its applications, the science of lightning as well as protective measures against lightning. After the seminar, Mr. Mak, a participant from one of the property management companies, remarked that the service was very useful to outdoor workers. The areas affected by lightning could be clearly identified. Such information was valuable in making appropriate working arrangements. Apart from promoting the lightning alert service, the Observatory also took the opportunity to gather valuable user feedback so as to further improve the service to meet user needs in future.
