The Miaoli County Government has officially announced the suspension of work and classes on July 11, 2025, due to the approaching typhoon. This decision was made based on typhoon warnings issued by the Central Weather Administration, prioritizing public safety.
As the typhoon's path nears Taiwan's main island, risks including transportation disruptions, landslides, and power outages are rising. Multiple counties and cities in central Taiwan, including Miaoli, have successively declared work and school suspensions.
The following counties and cities have currently announced suspensions of work and classes:
- Miaoli County - Taichung City - Changhua County - Nantou County - Yunlin County (partial areas)
Local governments made their final decisions between late night on July 10 and early morning on July 11, urging residents to avoid non-essential outings. Enterprises and schools are following emergency protocols, preparing for remote work and online classes.
According to meteorological forecasts, the typhoon will closely approach Taiwan while maintaining very strong intensity. The entire island is expected to be within the storm zone by July 11, with maximum gusts potentially reaching 50 m/s. Significant impacts on agriculture and fisheries are anticipated.
The county government has established a disaster response headquarters, coordinating with fire, police, and defense units to strengthen emergency preparedness. Real-time updates on evacuation centers and road closures are available via official websites and disaster prevention apps of each municipality.
Further updates will be broadcast through NHK, Public Television Service (PTS), and official social media accounts of local governments. Residents are advised to stay informed and prioritize safety.
