Taiwan Issues New Air-Raid Guidance, Learning from Ukraine and Israel
Taiwan is creating new rules to help people stay safe during air raids, following examples from Ukraine and Israel.
The new instructions will teach people what to do if they can't get to a safe shelter right away, such as hiding behind walls.
They're also practicing how to set up emergency supplies.
This is happening because of worries about China, which views Taiwan as part of its territory.
Taipei, the capital, has many shelters already, preparing for possible future events.
Taiwan is updating its air-raid guidance for citizens, learning from Ukraine and Israel.
The new guidance includes instructions for those unable to reach shelters quickly, such as hiding behind walls.
Civil defense drills and emergency supply station rehearsals will accompany annual military exercises.
Taipei has over 4,600 air-raid shelters, with capacity exceeding its population.
China views Taiwan as its territory, increasing military pressure.
