Wanan Air Raid Drill Slated for April 18

The 2016 Wanan 39 Air Raid Drill will take place on 1:30 PM on Monday, April 18.

Between 1:30 PM and 2 PM, evacuation will take effect for the entire northern Taiwan (as far as Hsinchu and Yilan).

Pedestrians and vehicles at outdoor areas should follow evacuation 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.

During this period, Taipei City Government will be conducting a 30-minute drill to test the preparedness of the City’s civil defense measures. In addition to standard briefing by the police department at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the supervising officer from the Wanan Air Raid Drill headquarters will observe the effectiveness of evacuation orders from high magnification telescopes placed by the EOC on the 95th floor of Taipei 101 and inspect drill execution at city hall.

In light of preparation works for the drill, the section of City Hall Road between Songgao Road and Songshou Road, as well as New Renai Road, will be closed to traffic between 1 PM and 3 PM on April 14 and April 15.
