Taipei City Government

In light of the Central Weather Bureau’s advisory on the possible impact of Typhoon Chan-hom upon northern Taiwan on July 10, the Hydraulic Engineering Office (HEO) of Taipei City Government Public Works Department initiated emergency evacuation preparations on July 9.
In accordance with the Regulations on River Management, all freights, portable restrooms, construction equipment, and vehicles should be removed from the riverside to minimize the impact upon flood control safety during typhoons.
The agency also reminds owners of vehicles parked inside the riverside parking lots to pay close attention to typhoon updates. Car owners will need to move their vehicles from the riverside parking areas within four hours after the announcement of typhoon land warnings or risk being towed away.
In addition, evacuation of wharf and riverside facilities have begun on July 9.
The ongoing Dajia Children’s Fun Fair, which kicked-off on July 4, will be temporarily closed starting July 8. The reopening time will be posted on the Chinese website of the event (http://www.seasky.com.tw/2015event/).
HEO calls upon the public to refrain from approaching the river banks or conducting waterborne activities during the typhoon to avoid possible hazards.
