Is this an official government service?
No. This is an independently operated, unofficial site that organizes public information from Taiwan authorities. Always check current official sources and local instructions during an emergency.
Does zero results mean conditions are safe?
No. Data may be unavailable, delayed, worded differently by area or affected by an upstream outage. Check the official source even when the site shows zero or unavailable.
Is the English text an official translation?
No. It is a structured summary based on reviewed terms and area data. Use the displayed Traditional Chinese original and official link when making a decision.
Is every designated shelter open now?
No. Designation and current opening status are different. Confirm opening information from local authorities or responders before travelling.
Which numbers should I call in Taiwan?
Call 119 for fire, ambulance or rescue and 110 for police. If life or health is at risk, do not wait for this site to refresh.
Do weather, rain and UV values update automatically?
They update when the CWA API key and scheduled retrieval process are operating. Check the displayed retrieval time and data status, then confirm with the official CWA service.
