Wanli Creek river-zone red alert continues; yellow wind advisory ends

00:28 update

Information time: October 12, 2026, 00:28.

Official sources: Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency's October 10 Wanli Creek update, Taitung Airport daily flights, Public Warning Platform, Central Weather Administration weather advisories, Water Resources Agency inundation warnings, Agency of Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation alert list, and Directorate-General of Personnel Administration work/class status.

Affected Indigenous areas and alert levels:

• Wanrong, Hualien—Wanli Creek: The Wanli Creek river channel and Hualien County-designated warning zone remain `barrier-lake / red`. The red level applies only to the official river-zone boundary; it does not mean all of Wanrong Township or every settlement is red. The Forestry agency's latest public update still reports an intact dam, steady overflow and downstream effects confined to the channel, while stored water remains a risk.
• Indigenous areas in Taoyuan, Miaoli, Taichung and Pingtung: The previous day's yellow land strong-wind advisory, valid until 23:00, has ended. Fuxing, Nanzhuang, Tai'an, Heping and Pingtung Indigenous areas are now classified `wind / monitoring`, not red.
• Lanyu air transport: Although the Taitung Airport page is timestamped 00:28 on October 12, its flight rows still retain October 11's final results. Those rows cannot establish October 12 cancellations or delays. Air transport is classified `transport / monitoring`, not red, and the previous day's cancellations are not carried into today's status.

Nationwide assessment:

• North: No active heavy-rain, torrential-rain, thunderstorm or strong-wind advisory was found. No level-one inundation warning, flash-rise warning, slope red/yellow alert, road or bridge closure, evacuation, shelter opening, transport suspension, work/class suspension, major agricultural-loss notice or Indigenous-area public-service interruption was found. Wulai, Fuxing, Jianshi, Wufeng, Nanzhuang, Tai'an and lowland Indigenous areas remain under monitoring.
• Central: No active county-level weather advisory or other threshold-level change was found. Heping, Ren'ai, Xinyi and Alishan remain under monitoring.
• South: The previous day's yellow wind advisory has ended, and no new threshold-level change was found. Southern Indigenous areas remain under monitoring.
• East: The Wanli Creek river channel and designated warning zone remain red. Lanyu's current-day flight listing awaits a completed rollover and is classified as transport monitoring. No other threshold-level change was found for eastern Indigenous areas.

The WRA page lists no level-one or level-two inundation warning. The slope-hazard system lists no active debris-flow or large-scale-landslide red/yellow warning. The DGPA page lists no work or class suspension. The Wanli Creek river-zone red alert is issued under the Forestry agency and local-government system and is separate from the slope-hazard alert system.

Recommended action: Do not enter the Wanli Creek embankment area, riverbed or designated warning zone. Lanyu passengers should recheck the airport's and airline's current-day information before departure. Follow the latest official notices.
