Glad your family is safe. I have been thinking, since the pandemic actually, that given Taiwan's peculiar media and political landscape, much progress has been made in public health, transportation, civil defense, diversifying energy sources, redundant power grids, professional search and rescue teams, etc., some better known abroad but ironically not as well known domestically. Which is a shame in that as I see in the US, when citizens get polarized and radicalized by unhealthy media and political forces, they fail to understand the importance of long term public investment, in projects that are not easily described by electronic media/social media (like power grids) -- yet can save so many lives in a crisis. I am also very glad to see Taiwan being able to learn from teams abroad while sharing their own lessons -- the SAR from Turkey is a really neat, decades long story (also good to see UAVs used in a non harmful/military way). Thanks for this article!
Oh that poor, poor family. How awful. I’m so glad you and so many others and Taiwan are okay, though, and good on the government for doing such a great job of preparing.
