As Typhoon Bavi nears Taiwan, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an has stationed at the city's Disaster Response Center, urging citizens to prepare. The four municipalities of Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei, and Taoyuan have jointly announced a work and school suspension for the next day.

Typhoon Bavi, one of the strongest in 25 years with an exceptionally large wind field, is approaching Taiwan. The Central Weather Bureau issued a high wave warning for eastern coastal areas this evening (9th) and is expected to release a land-based typhoon warning early tomorrow (10th). Following joint discussions among the four municipalities of Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei, and Taoyuan, all have announced a suspension of work and classes for tomorrow. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an emphasized the heightened risks due to Taipei's high population density, massive cross-municipal commuter flows, and saturated soil from recent heavy rains, which increase the likelihood of landslides and flooding.

Mayor Chiang urged citizens to use the typhoon preparation day wisely, complete all disaster readiness measures early, and stay informed on flood conditions and official alerts. He personally inspected slope safety in Wenshan District in the morning, followed by on-site visits to Xinyi, Songshan, and Neihu districts in the afternoon to assess typhoon preparedness. In the evening, he chaired a preparedness meeting at the Taipei City Emergency Operations Center (EOC), ensuring full deployment of personnel and equipment ahead of the storm. The 'Taipei Team' stands ready to protect public safety.
