(CNA Reporter Huang Li-yun, Taipei, 22nd) Given the recent frequency of earthquakes, the Taipei City Fire Department collaborated with the Songshan District Office today to host a 'Community Disaster Prevention Fair'. The event featured earthquake simulation trucks and fire safety promotion vehicles for the public to experience firsthand, aiming to instill correct disaster preparedness concepts.
The Fire Department's Third Disaster Rescue and EMS Corps partnered with the Songshan District Office this morning to jointly organize the fair at the Chengmei Left Bank Riverside Park. The event combined disaster prevention education with a community walking promotion to construct a community public safety network and strengthen residents' disaster awareness, working towards the goal of 'zero-disaster communities and a safe society.'
Through a press release, the Fire Department explained that the fair offered various educational stations, including home fire safety knowledge, earthquake preparedness, carbon monoxide poisoning prevention, CPR, AED, the Heimlich maneuver, and fire extinguisher operation tutorials.
Additionally, earthquake and fire simulation trucks were on-site, allowing citizens to practice how to respond during an earthquake and learn fire extinguishing techniques when a fire breaks out, ensuring they possess basic self-protection capabilities when facing sudden emergencies.
The Fire Department stated that alongside disaster education, a well-planned walking route was established at the venue, allowing people to invest in their health and develop good recreational habits.
'Disaster preparedness cannot wait until a disaster occurs; only by building correct concepts in peacetime can we protect ourselves and our families,' the Fire Department stated. They emphasized that this activity not only strengthened neighborhood bonds in Songshan District but also provided a relaxed environment for the public to learn practical safety knowledge, collectively raising the community's overall disaster readiness and capability.
