Nantou County is located at the middle part of Taiwan and has
lots of mountainous area. After the 921 earthquake and the
typhoon Toraji which seriously damaged Nantou County, Recently,
each year there have been several natural disasters devastated
Nantou such as typhoon and torrential rain, and all of them
brought lots of damages to us. Therefore, the system of disaster
prevention and rescue is very important to the people’s life and
property safety. Taking the Caotun township in Nantou County as
an example, this study has deeply analyzed the second and third
level of the disaster prevention and rescue system in Taiwan.
Currently, township government is the third level in the
disaster prevention and rescue system in Taiwan, and also the
most front line combating the disaster, and it should be the
most important factor in the system. But based upon our study ,
we have found that the functions of the local government in the
process of disaster prevention and rescue still have much room
be improved. First of all, according to the law, we should
establish the specialized units in the local government to deal
with the affairs of disaster prevention and rescue program and
gradually promote the functions of the local disaster response
center. Also, we should take advantage of the civil resources by
boosting all the civilian’s conception of disaster prevention.
Further, the authorities should establish the system to
cultivate professional human resource in the field of public
disaster prevention and rescue in the future. In the meantime,
the authorities should also actively put the education of
disaster prevention into effect. Hopefully, our conclusions can
be referenced by other units or department in Taiwan in the
future. |
