(Central News Agency, Reporter Wu Che-hao, Changhua, 23rd) The first urban resilience drill of the year was held in Changhua County. County Magistrate Wang Hui-mei stated today that the drill emphasized realistic scenarios carried out in specific areas, utilizing actual personnel, materials, and locations to enhance Changhua County's overall command, response, and dispatch capabilities.
The first 2026 Urban Resilience (All-Out Defense Mobilization) Drill took place in Changhua County yesterday and today. The Changhua County Government explained that a tabletop exercise was conducted at the Changhua County Fire Department on the 22nd. On the 23rd, practical drills were carried out in integration with three critical facilities: medical institutions, key resource facilities, and major transportation routes, as well as 5 locations selected by the county government to establish distribution centers, relief stations, and first aid stations, 4 disaster collaboration centers, and 1 campus air raid shelter.
Chi Lien-cheng, Deputy Commander of the Drill Control Headquarters and Minister without Portfolio of the Executive Yuan, said that Changhua County's disaster prevention and civil defense mobilization efforts have always been very solid. He hopes the county government will identify potential vulnerabilities during the drill, continue to optimize the defense system, and prepare well for a rainy day.
Changhua County Magistrate Wang Hui-mei stated that this drill emphasized realistic scenarios executed in specific areas, following the principles of "real people, real objects, real places, real scenes, and real actions." Divided into two main dimensions: tabletop exercises and comprehensive implementation, the drill aimed to improve overall command, response, and dispatch capabilities, and practically verify the effectiveness of the local government's response mechanisms.
Wang pointed out that the tabletop exercise focused on the establishment, transfer, and decentralized operation of emergency response centers at various stages, as well as preventive evacuation and wartime traffic control. The comprehensive implementation centered around disaster collaboration centers, promoting emergency go-bag usage plans, expanding the setup of relief and first-aid stations, while strengthening key exercises such as wartime public security, maintaining a rolling review and improvement process.
The county government explained that the drill mainly focused on war disaster rescue operations. Executing wartime rescue under battlefield conditions, the drill was grand in scale, with over a thousand participants observing and practicing. It also simulated the carrying and use of emergency go-bags by the public, facilitating rapid evacuation during wartime to maintain basic survival needs.
The county government noted that in addition to disaster relief practice, realistic wartime rescue drills were specially added. The drill also showcased the results of preparedness and response efforts, hoping to deeply root disaster prevention awareness. Only through spontaneous public participation, observation, and the learning of various disaster prevention skills can individuals save themselves and others in large-scale disasters.
