Chunri Township's Shiwen Village Suspends Work and Classes on September 1; Haiduan Xiangyang-Lidao Section Now Closed
Original Chinese title: 春日鄉士文村9/1停止上班上課：列work-school / watch；海端向陽至利稻已預警封閉
At 19:38:50 on August 31, the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration listed Shiwen Village in Pingtung's Chunri Township as suspending work and classes on September 1. This is an official Indigenous-area work/class suspension and is classified work-school / watch, not red. The Highway Bureau also confirms Provincial Highway 20 from 149K+110 to 171K+500, Xiangyang to Lidao in Haiduan, entered preemptive closure at 18:00, while the Meishankou-Xiangyang section remains closed from September 1.

20:04 Update: Shiwen Village in Chunri Suspends Work and Classes on September 1; Xiangyang-Lidao in Haiduan Is Now Under Preemptive Closure
Information time: August 31, 2026, 20:04.
Official sources: Directorate-General of Personnel Administration; Highway Bureau; Central Weather Administration; Agency of Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation; Water Resources Agency; Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency; and relevant local-government and road-authority notices.
Indigenous areas affected: The Directorate-General of Personnel Administration's 19:38:50 update for August 31 explicitly lists Shiwen Village in Pingtung County's Chunri Township as suspending work and classes on September 1. This is a formal work/class suspension within an Indigenous area. Shiwen Village is therefore `work-school / watch`, not `red`. The notice must not be expanded to all of Chunri Township or to other Indigenous townships in Pingtung.
Transport changes: The Highway Bureau confirms that Provincial Highway 20 from 149K+110 to 171K+500, Xiangyang to Lidao in Taitung's Haiduan Township, entered preemptive closure at 18:00 on August 31, so Haiduan remains `transport / watch`. The Highway Bureau also reports that although the 12K+500 Liguan section on temporary Provincial Highway 20 Route 105 has been cleared, the Meishankou-Xiangyang section will remain closed from September 1 because of the continuing low-pressure belt and southwesterly flow; Kaohsiung Taoyuan and Taitung Haiduan therefore remain under `transport / watch`. The fallen-tree event at Highway 7A 61K in Huanshan, Heping, remains listed in Highway Bureau real-time information, and no formal reopening notice was found in this scan, so Heping also remains `transport / watch`.
Nationwide regional scan: North: Wulai, Fuxing, Jianshi, Wufeng, Nanzhuang, and Tai'an remain `monitoring`; no new threshold-level official change was identified. Central: Heping remains `transport / watch` because of the Highway 7A 61K Huanshan event; Ren'ai, Xinyi, and Alishan remain `monitoring`. South: only Shiwen Village in Chunri Township is under `work-school / watch` for the September 1 suspension. Kaohsiung Taoyuan remains `transport / watch` because Meishankou-Xiangyang stays closed from September 1. The Tainan mountain region, Kaohsiung Namasia/Maolin, and Pingtung Sandimen/Wutai/Majia/Taiwu/Laiyi/Shizi/Mudan remain `monitoring` for this scan. East: Haiduan remains `transport / watch` because of the Xiangyang-Lidao preemptive closure and continuing South Cross-Island Highway control; Datong/Nan'ao in Yilan, Xiulin/Wanrong/Zhuoxi in Hualien, and Beinan/Yanping/Daren/Jinfeng/Taimali/Dawu/Lanyu in Taitung remain `monitoring`.
Weather and other alerts: Around 20:00, CWA's weather-warning page shows no active heavy/torrential-rain advisory in the county table, and its severe-thunderstorm page shows no active event. This scan found no new level-one inundation alert, debris-flow or large-scale-landslide escalation, rapid stream rise, evacuation, shelter activation, major agricultural-loss alert, or major water/power/public-service interruption affecting the listed Indigenous areas. The Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency's August 31 Wanli River monitoring says the natural dam remains intact, the lake is stably overflowing, and forecast 12- and 24-hour rainfall remains below alert-release thresholds; Wanli River therefore remains `monitoring`.
Alert level: The site's overall level remains `watch`. Shiwen Village is `work-school / watch`; Haiduan, Taoyuan, and Heping are `transport / watch`. None of these conditions should be mislabeled `red`.
Recommended action: Residents, students, schools, and relevant agencies in Shiwen Village should follow Pingtung County and Directorate-General of Personnel Administration notices for the September 1 work/class suspension. Other villages in Chunri Township should not assume the same status unless separately announced. Road users in Haiduan, Taoyuan, and Heping mountain areas should follow the Highway Bureau's latest closure, clearance, and reopening notices and must not enter closed road sections.
Official notices govern.
