Guide to Disaster Prevention and Preparation   

Taiwan is located between the Eurasian Plate and Philippine Sea Plate. Earthquakes and typhoons occur frequently, and floods and landslides happen every year. Natural disasters in Taiwan are normal occurrences, but we still cannot 100% accurately predict their strength and timing.In addition to natural disasters, human caused accidents can happen too, such as nuclear radiation leaks or fires.Due to Taiwan's unique geography and its increasing urbanization rate, the establishment of a disaster prevention and rescue system is needed to effectively respond to disasters, save lives, and protect property.
GIS plays an important role in disaster prevention and preparation.
The central government can obtain decision-making information for disaster prevention and preparation only if relevant disaster rescue information is connected to geographic data. This connection can be done with GIS.
Through hierarchical management, geographic data can be managed by layers.
