英文摘要 |
Taiwan, famous for its beauty and hospitality, is also well-known for its frequent natural disasters. Due to its location along the frequent typhoon track and the point at which the Euro-Asia and Philippine-Sea plates meet, there are higher potential occurrences of several deadly natural disasters such as typhoon, flooding, debris flow, landslide and drought. These natural disasters often cause serious economic hardship and occasionally even loss of life. Disaster reduction and response have become the main commitments of Taiwan's government. We at the NCDR work hand-in-hand with the government to provide solutions to disaster reduction and response. These solutions help to ensure a safe Taiwan by addressing issues such as technology research, system management, policy, and legislature as applied to natural disaster reduction and response. |
