Taipei City Government

The Wan-an 41 air raid drill will start at 1:30 PM on Monday, June 4.
 
Between 1:30 PM and 2 PM, evacuation will take effect for the entire northern Taiwan (including Hsinchu and Yilan counties). The city government will also take this opportunity to conduct its first ever emergency response exercise for telecommunication infrastructures based on a bomb attack scenario.
 
During the drill, pedestrians and vehicles at outdoor areas should follow the instructions of police, military, and evacuation personnel to seek shelter and vacate the roads. Those indoors should shut all windows and doors, turn off power and gas, and comply with regulations under the Civil Defense Act.
 
Mayor Ko and other supervising officers will drop by Disaster Response Center to receive briefings about the preparedness of city’s civil defense system and observe the drill after the raid siren goes off at the start of a 30-minute inspection itinerary. Afterwards, they will supervise the emergency response drill at the building of Ministry of Transportation and Communications and Chunghua Telecom’s Renai office. The last stop of the delegation will be the city’s second emergency response center, where the dignitaries will supervise the operation and monitor the effectiveness of the supplementary response center.
 
In light of preparation works for the drill, the section of Hangzhou South Road between Renai Road and Xinyi Road will be closed to traffic between 9:30 AM and 3 PM on May 31, June 1, and June 6 respectively. According to Public Transportation Office, three bus routes will be affected by the traffic measure. The agency reminds members of the public to plan ahead or utilize other forms of transportation.
