After Typhoon Morakot hit southern Taiwan in August, Legislative Yuan analyses the deficiencies of Taiwan's disaster relief mechanism and takes stock of the experience of Japan in disaster prevention.
After a tour of Japan, Tawain officials suggested enhancements in disaster prevention and response such as: disaster simulation drills, joint cooperation between local residents and the administration to mitigate the impact of disasters, inter-agency coordination, and investigations after each major disaster to pass on management and experience.
