Taipei, Sept. 16 (CNA) The northern Taiwan cities of Taipei, New Taipei and Keelung 
and Hualien County in eastern Taiwan have announced that they will close schools and offices on Saturday in anticipation of rough weather from Typhoon Malakas.
The announcements came after Yilan County in northeastern Taiwan said earlier Friday that it would close schools and offices on Saturday to keep people indoors and safe from the storm.
As of 9:36 p.m., all other cities and counties in the country have declared that schools and offices will remain open Saturday, according to Directorate-General of Personnel Administration data.
The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) said Typhoon Malakas will begin to affect Taiwan late Friday night, with the storm’s outer periphery expected to reach Hualien and Taitung counties in the early hours of Saturday. [FULL STORY]
