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

04:14 update

Information time: October 14, 2026, 04:14; the latest official Wanli Creek update was issued on October 12, Taitung Airport's current-day flight page is updated to 04:14, and the work/class page to 04:04.

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 agency's October 12 update reports a water-surface elevation of 1,086.22 metres and an estimated storage of 5.1579 million cubic metres at 08:40. The dam remains intact with stable overflow, but storage still poses risk. The Wanli Creek 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: All 14 Taitung–Lanyu sectors listed on Taitung Airport's 04:14 page are currently on time. This is `transport / monitoring`, not red and not a transport suspension. Travellers should recheck the airport and airline before departure.
• Other Indigenous areas: No active county-level weather advisory was found. The slope-hazard system lists zero red or yellow debris-flow alerts and zero red or yellow large-scale-landslide alerts. The 04:04 work/class page lists no suspension, and no new threshold-level official change was found.

Nationwide assessment:

• North: No threshold-level change was found for Wulai, Fuxing, Jianshi, Wufeng, Nanzhuang, Tai'an or lowland Indigenous areas; monitoring continues.
• Central: No threshold-level change was found for Heping, Ren'ai, Xinyi or Alishan; monitoring continues.
• South: No threshold-level change was found for southern Indigenous areas; monitoring continues.
• East: The Wanli Creek river channel and designated warning zone remain red. All 14 Lanyu air sectors are currently on time and aviation remains transport / monitoring. No other threshold-level change was found for eastern Indigenous areas.

Recommended action: Do not enter the Wanli Creek embankment area, riverbed or designated warning zone. Lanyu air travellers should recheck the airport and airline before departure. Follow the latest official notices.
