The Personal Emergency Link Service (PE Link; Chinese: 一線通平安鐘) was established by the Senior Citizen Home Safety Association (zh) to launch a 24-hour personal emergency link to help the needy in Hong Kong.[1][2]

In response, the Association were dedicated to render emergency relief and total care service to all elderly and chronic invalids by setting up the PE Link.[3] PE Link was created in 1996.[4]
