★★★★★★ TYphoon MAX ★★★★★★
Taichung Mayor Lu Hsiu-Yen has released her latest response on whether the city will declare a typhoon day off on July 10. As Typhoon MAX approaches, local governments across Taiwan are announcing decisions on work and school suspensions based on weather forecasts.
Mayor Lu stated that the final decision for Taichung will be made early in the morning of July 10, after assessing the typhoon's path, wind speed, rainfall predictions, and transportation safety. She emphasized that public safety is the top priority and urged businesses and schools to prepare contingency plans.
As of now, Yilan County, Hualien County, and Taitung County have officially announced suspensions for July 10. Other municipalities, including New Taipei City and Keelung City, are closely monitoring the situation and may issue announcements later.
Residents across Taiwan are advised to stay updated through official government websites, the Central Weather Administration, or the 'Disaster Alert' mobile application. Those with commuting or school plans are encouraged to adjust schedules proactively.
With climate change intensifying typhoon patterns, timely and accurate decision-making by local authorities has become increasingly critical. Public awareness and preparedness remain essential for community safety during typhoon season.
