Earthquake & Typhoon Card

Taiwan has frequent earthquakes and typhoons. Read this once now. After you've opened it once, it works without internet.

During an earthquake

DropGet down on the floor so you don't fall.

CoverProtect your head and neck. Get under a strong table.

Hold onHold the table leg until the shaking stops.

Don't run outside while it's still shaking. Things can fall from above.
Don't use the elevator.
Caring for an elderly person in bed: cover their head with a pillow and don't move them while it's shaking.
When it stops: turn off the stove and gas, put on shoes, check on the person you care for.
If you're outside: stay away from buildings, glass and power poles.

Follow the work-suspension announcement (停止上班) from the city where you work or live.
If work is suspended and you don't go in, your employer may not count it as absence or force you to take leave. Employers are advised not to deduct pay, but the law doesn't require it.
If you still have to work, your employer should help with transport and pay extra.
Home caregivers/domestic workers: follow your contract and put your and the elderly person's safety first.
Get water, food, a flashlight and a power bank ready. Stay away from windows. Don't go to beaches, rivers or mountains.

Send your location and a Chinese message to a friend, your employer or family. Your location is never sent to us.
