Affected by a powerful typhoon approaching northern Taiwan, Taipei City, New Taipei City, Keelung City, and Taoyuan City (commonly referred to as Beibei Jitao) will suspend work and classes for two consecutive days starting tomorrow. This decision was officially announced by Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, prioritizing public safety.

According to the Central Weather Administration, the typhoon maintains extremely strong intensity, posing high risks of heavy rain, strong winds, and landslides. In response, the Taipei City Government held an emergency meeting and, after consultation with relevant agencies, made the decision to suspend operations. New Taipei City, Keelung City, and Taoyuan City have followed suit with similar announcements.

The suspension period is set for two days starting tomorrow, though exact dates and times should be confirmed through official announcements from each local government. Transportation services are expected to experience suspensions or delays, and the public is urged to avoid non-essential travel.

Local governments have established disaster response centers, opened evacuation shelters, and strengthened emergency communication systems. Residents are advised to prepare for possible power outages and water disruptions by checking emergency supplies such as food, drinking water, flashlights, and power banks.

Other counties and cities across Taiwan are making individual assessments based on the typhoon’s path and intensity, with updated information being released continuously. The public is encouraged to stay informed through official government websites and news outlets.

Mayor Chiang Wan-an stated during a press conference: "The safety and lives of our citizens are our top priority. We will respond swiftly at the first sign of danger." He emphasized ongoing vigilance and comprehensive preparedness as the situation evolves.
