This study used TELES to simulate the earthquake scenario parameters, such as PGA distribution, casualty case, liquefaction potential index and the total number of occurring fires based on the Meinong fault seismic source. Finally, according to the most damaging areas of the simulation results, we propose to strengthen the important buildings and facilities such as the reservoir area, and the emergency responsive hospitals for a better seismic risk estimation and the earthquake disaster prevention and response. According to the simulation results analysis, we found the areas with the strongest magnitude were in Meinong Dist. in Kaohsiung city. Nevertheless, the areas suffering the serious disasters were in Tainan city. Due to the serious disasters occurring in Tainan city, it is crucial to discuss how to perform anti-earthquake practices in Tainan area and how to coordinate the support from different cities and counties.展开更多

No sooner had the earthquake occurred, the Tainan City Government Fire Department immediately set up a disaster response center and command center to dispatch the rescue team in time, which is appreciated by the citizens. A year after the earthquake, a survey is conducted, aiming to collect and reflect civic opinions and satisfaction on the rescue during 0206 earthquake. Therefore, the purposes of this study are as follows: 1) This survey will facilitate the Tainan city government to device future marketing strategies and continue to promote new policy. 2) This survey will guide Tainan City Government Fire Department on how to enhance the disaster rescue. 3) This survey will serve as the reference for other cities, intending to develop similar fire-fighting tactical strategies.展开更多
