Typhoon Taili caused serious damage in south-central areas of Taiwan and citizen journalists were on hand to provide on-the-scene reports. These reports came in from as far apart as Taichung, Tainan, Chiayi, Yunlin, Pingdong and Koahsiung.
Citizen journalist Sadapeopo uploaded a report on farmers who braved the storm in order to harvest crops, leaving many sighing at the plight of Taiwanese farmers. Another citizen journalist reported on the Wangjia Village Patrol Team from Pingtung County, which has already been tested to the limit by a number of typhoons including Morakot, Fanapi, and Nanmadol. This year has been no different, as they stood on the front line fighting the onslaught of Typhoon Taili.
Locals discovered that after the heavy rain which started on the 10th, the old road 3km above Wangjia Village had begun to show some peculiarities - the village itself was also experiencing flooding. The Disaster Relief Center mobilized the village patrol team and all able-bodied men, using motorbikes to distribute sandbags to villagers and 5 junctions on the road above the village. The village guard is 40-head strong and although it hasn’t been established long, it has already gone though a number of disaster-relief efforts, building essential experience. The patrol team, which was previously awarded with a certificate of excellence from the National Police Agency, undergoes regular training sessions and biannual study classes, its operations covering the length and breath of the county.
