Cars and large motorcycles will receive up to NT$20,000, while scooters will receive up to NT$2,000. Applications are now open.

A press release from the Pingtung County Government stated that on June 25th, due to the influence of the outer circulation of Typhoon Mekala, a frontal system, and the southwest monsoon, intense rainfall led to flooding in many areas.

For scooters, including registered electric light motorcycles, the assistance is capped at NT$2,000 per vehicle. Residents are urged to apply within the deadline. (Editor: Chen Ching-fang) 1150701
