★★★★★★ TYphoon MAX ★★★★★★
Hualien County has officially announced the suspension of all business operations and classes on July 11, 2024, due to the impact of an approaching typhoon. This decision prioritizes public safety and aims to prevent potential disasters caused by strong winds and heavy rainfall.
Currently, other major regions including Taipei City, New Taipei City, Keelung City, and Taoyuan City (collectively known as Bei-Bei-Ji-Tao) are conducting emergency assessments on whether to suspend work and classes tomorrow based on the typhoon's trajectory and the latest forecasts from the Central Weather Administration. Residents are advised to review their commuting and school schedules accordingly.
According to the Personnel Administration Bureau of the Executive Yuan, the criteria for each county or city to decide on work and class suspensions include comprehensive evaluations of wind speed and rainfall predictions from the Central Weather Bureau, landslide warning zones, and impacts on transportation systems. With Hualien County already making a decision, there is potential for a ripple effect on neighboring areas.
Local governments in Yilan County, Taitung County, and Hsinchu County, particularly in eastern and northern Taiwan, are expected to announce their decisions by this afternoon. Education bureaus and municipal authorities have begun issuing preparation guidelines to schools and businesses.
Future updates will provide real-time, comprehensive listings of work and class suspensions across Taiwan. Readers are encouraged to bookmark this article to stay informed with the latest developments.
