Wanli Creek river-zone red alert continues; nationwide Indigenous-area monitoring

03:43 update

Information time: October 13, 2026, 03:43; the latest official Wanli Creek update was issued on October 12, Taitung Airport's current-day flight page is updated to 03:43, and the work/class page to 03:23.

Official sources: Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency's October 12 Wanli Creek update, Taitung Airport daily flights, Public Warning Platform, Central Weather Administration weather advisories, Water Resources Agency disaster information, 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 Forestry agency's October 12 update reports that at 08:40 the lake elevation was 1,086.22 metres and storage was about 5.1579 million cubic metres. The dam remained intact, overflow was steady, and downstream effects were confined to the channel. Stored water remains a risk, so the river channel and Hualien County-designated warning zone remain `barrier-lake / red`. Red applies only to the official river-zone boundary; it does not mean all of Wanrong Township or every settlement is red.
• Lanyu air transport: Taitung Airport's 03:43 current-day listing shows all 16 Taitung–Lanyu sectors currently on time. This is `transport / monitoring`, not red and not a transport suspension; actual operations remain subject to later airport and airline updates.
• Other Indigenous areas: No active county-level weather advisory or new threshold-level official change was found; monitoring continues.

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, Indigenous-area road or bridge closure, evacuation, shelter opening, transport suspension, work/class suspension, major agricultural-loss notice or 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 threshold-level change was found. Heping, Ren'ai, Xinyi and Alishan remain under monitoring.
• South: No active county-level weather advisory or threshold-level change was found. Southern Indigenous areas remain under monitoring.
• East: The Wanli Creek river channel and designated warning zone remain red. Lanyu aviation is transport / monitoring. No other threshold-level change was found for eastern Indigenous areas.

This scan found no WRA level-one inundation warning. The slope-hazard system lists zero debris-flow red alerts, zero debris-flow yellow alerts, zero large-scale-landslide red alerts and zero large-scale-landslide yellow alerts. The DGPA page, updated at 03:23, 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 air passengers should recheck the airport and airline before departure. Follow the latest official notices.
