Taiwan has a military invasion on the mind. Taiwan's Ministry of Defense has released a handbook in case another country decides to invade the territory it has long-claimed as its own. If Chinese troops start to march through Taiwan, the new Chinese-language survival handbook contains links to several websites and apps that can be helpful. There are links to the sites that let people know about power outages, weather, military announcements, and emergency medical services. The ministry of the interior police service has protocols for evacuated during an air raid.
The cutesy art style is against the graphics of a destroyed landscape and armed soldiers. The well-produced document also shows how to react to different alarms and air raid sirens, how to safely enter an evacuated facility, how to contact the different emergency services, what supplies to include in emergency medical andevacuation kits, and information about being called up into the army reserve.
The document is providing information on how citizens should react in a military crisis and possible disasters, according to the report.
The world is in a state of panic because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The timing is evidence of the country's ongoing need to keep their neighbor at arm's length without provoking them into war.
Taiwan is not the first to release guides in case of a military incursion from its neighbor. The Swedish government released a document due to fears of Russia's aggressive posturing. The Polish government created a new 36-page guide for times of crisis and war called Be ready. The guide, which is a condemnation of Russian aggression, also gives information about where to seek emergency services, but it also gives information about dealing with misinformation, something Russia has become well-known for.
The document could be updated to include more information about shelters, hospitals, and other emergency services.
