Earthquake
- Drop or crouch, take cover and protect your head and neck until shaking stops.
- If damage is serious, take your go-bag and evacuate as directed by responders.
This checklist follows guidance from Taiwan’s National Fire Agency and All-out Defense Mobilization Agency. Keep home supplies separate from a go-bag and adapt them to your household, health and local risks.
Decide these first
- Keep at least seven days of household supplies.
- Prepare a portable one-to-three-day go-bag for each person.
- Label expiry dates and inspect supplies at least every six months.
- Choose more than one family meeting place and keep paper copies of routes and contact plans.
- Check whether your household can manage several days without power, water or mobile service.

During and after a disaster
Typhoon, heavy rain and flooding
- Check supplies, return home early and avoid unnecessary travel before conditions worsen.
- Do not wait for roads to flood; follow local evacuation notices and responders.
Tsunami
- After a warning or strong shaking, move away from the coast to higher ground immediately and do not drive.
- Do not return to the coast or rivers until the official all-clear.
Debris flow and slope failure
- If you notice muddy water, ground cracks, slope seepage or unusual sounds, move uphill immediately.
- Stay away from rivers, slopes, drains and bridges; do not run in the direction of the flow.
Power, water or communications outage
- Save phone power and use radio or local public broadcasts. Switch electronic locks or shutters to the manual procedure checked in advance.
- Prioritise drinking water. Use paper contacts and meeting places, and try family check-ins at agreed times.
Information and digital safety
- Do not open unverified posts, images, QR codes or apps. Compare the claim with more than one government or other authoritative source.
- Do not forward unconfirmed claims. Keep devices updated and use strong, unique passwords and trusted connections.
First aid and community support
- Once the scene is safe, call 119. Learn bleeding control, CPR and AED use before an emergency.
- Check your household first, then offer practical help to nearby older people or anyone who may need assistance.
Stress and children
- Limit repeated news checking and maintain sleep, meals and conversation when possible.
- Explain events to children in age-appropriate language, accept their fears and preserve familiar routines.
