00:13 Indigenous-area disaster brief
Information time: October 5, 2026, 00:13.
Official sources: Central Weather Administration heavy-rain advisory, Public Warning Platform, Water Resources Agency combined warnings, Agency of Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation slope-hazard dashboard, Taitung Airport daily flights, and Directorate-General of Personnel Administration.
Affected Indigenous areas and levels:
- Datong and Nan'ao, Yilan: At 21:00 on October 4, the CWA issued a heavy-rain advisory for Yilan County, with local heavy rain or torrential rain expected from the evening of October 4 into October 5. Both townships are `weather / watch / yellow` under the county-scale advisory, not red. The county-level advisory does not mean every location in both townships has reached torrential-rain thresholds.
- Previous strong-wind yellow advisory: It has left the active-warning list. Previously listed areas return to `weather / monitoring`; this is the end of a yellow watch, not the cancellation of a red alert.
- Water and slope conditions: The WRA shows no inundation, river-level or reservoir-release warning. The slope-hazard dashboard shows zero debris-flow red alerts, zero debris-flow yellow alerts, zero large-scale-landslide red alerts and zero large-scale-landslide yellow alerts.
Nationwide assessment:
- North: Wulai, Fuxing, Jianshi, Wufeng, Nanzhuang, Tai'an and lowland Indigenous areas remain under monitoring. No active heavy-rain, severe-thunderstorm, level-one inundation, slope-alert escalation, road or bridge disruption, evacuation, shelter, work or class suspension, transport suspension or public-service interruption was found.
- Central: Heping, Ren'ai, Xinyi, Alishan and nearby areas remain under monitoring. No active heavy-rain, severe-thunderstorm, level-one inundation, slope-alert escalation, road or bridge disruption, evacuation, shelter, work or class suspension or public-service interruption was found.
- South: Indigenous areas in mountain Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung remain under monitoring. No level-one inundation, slope red or yellow alert, official flash-rise warning, road disruption, evacuation, shelter, work or class suspension or official major agricultural-loss change was found.
- East: Datong and Nan'ao are under a yellow heavy-rain watch. Other covered Indigenous areas in Hualien and Taitung, including Lanyu, remain under monitoring; no new road or bridge disruption, evacuation, shelter, school closure, transport suspension, power or water change, or major public-service interruption was found.
The DGPA's 23:50 update for October 4 reported no work or class suspension. No severe-thunderstorm alert, level-one inundation warning, evacuation, shelter, school-specific closure or major agricultural-loss notice was found in this scan.
Recommended action: In Datong and Nan'ao, avoid streams, riverbeds and unstable slopes, and watch for ponding in low-lying areas. Check road and weather conditions before mountain travel and monitor any escalation. Follow the latest official notices.
