TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Central Taiwan, including the city of Taichung and Penghu, will conduct an air raid drill from 1:30 to 2 p.m. on May 30.
The drill, which has been titled Wan-An No.42, is one of regular annual tests held in various parts of the country. Residents were advised to stay inside, close windows and doors, and turn lights off.
“Once the air raid sirens go off, all moving vehicles and pedestrians should follow the instructions of police officers, military police and civil defense staff, evacuating to the nearest shelter,” the announcement on Wednesday (May 8) said.
Violators could be subject to fines from NT$30,000 (US$969) to NT$150,000, the Liberty Times reported. [FULL STORY]
