What To Do When You Encounter Snakes
遇見蛇的應對方法
各位同事及同學：
春天至初冬是蛇類活動最頻繁的季節。蛇喜歡在樹枝、灌木密集處、紅樹林區、石頭罅隙、洞內、陰暗潮濕的地方如引水道和水渠邊等地點出沒，因此應避免進入草叢，不應把手或腳伸入罅隙或洞內。
一般蛇類遇到威脅時，會先做出虛張聲勢的防禦姿態，但極少會主動攻擊，因此，當遇見蛇的時候，應保持鎮定，避免突然移動或作出驅趕行為，更不要將蛇打死或打傷。
當不幸被蛇咬傷，應與蛇保持一定距離以防再次被咬，記錄被咬時間以及蛇的特徵，避免劇烈活動並放慢動作以減低心跳頻率及血液流動，並應盡快致電保安中心8822 4000或999求助就醫。

Dear Colleagues and Students,
Spring to early winter is the time when snakes are most active. Snakes like to live in tree branches, dense bushes, mangrove swamps, cracks in rocks, caves and places that are dark and humid like ditches or sewers, etc. Therefore, we should avoid entering bushes and refrain from extending our hands or feet into gaps or caves.
Snakes in general strike a defensive pose to bluff when they are threatened, but they rarely initiate attacks. Therefore, when we encounter a snake, we should remain calm, avoid sudden movements or actions to drive the snake away, refrain from hitting the snake to injure or kill it.
If we are unfortunately bitten by a snake, we should keep a certain distance from the snake to prevent repeated bites, record the time of the bite and the characteristics of the snake, avoid vigorous movements and slow down our actions so as to reduce the heart rate and blood flow. We should seek help as soon as possible and call security center : 8822 4000 or 999 for assistance and medical help.
