At 01:47 am on September 21, 1999, Taiwan experienced its largest earthquake in
100 years. The earthquake not only leveled buildings and houses over a wide area
of central Taiwan, it also revealed a glaring lack of preparedness and
prevention on the part of the people of all of Taiwan. It showed that rescue
agencies were not ready, and people did not know what to do in the case of a
disaster. Taiwan’s location and geology mean that natural disasters are certain
to happen from time to time, including earthquakes, typhoons, rockslides and
other calamities, and preparation can never be overlooked.
In the past, people said “Forewarned is forearmed.” It point out the importance
of disaster prevention. Prevent the possible disaster and getting ready for it
far outweighs the value of repair afterward. It is the objective of Disaster
Prevention Hall. The goal of the gallery is to give knowledge of refuge and
rescue, and related information to the audiences, to establish the correct
concept of the disaster prevention.
