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

00:29 update

Information time: October 15, 2026, 00:29. The latest official Wanli Creek status update was issued on October 12. The Directorate-General of Personnel Administration page was last updated at 23:58 on October 14.

Official sources: Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency's October 12 Wanli Creek update, Public Warning Platform, Central Weather Administration weather advisories, Water Resources Agency disaster information, Agency of Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation alert list, Directorate-General of Personnel Administration work/class status, and Taitung Airport daily flights.

Affected Indigenous areas and alert levels:

• Wanrong, Hualien—Wanli Creek: The latest agency update reports that the dam remains intact and overflow is stable, 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: The full cancellations on October 14 belong to the previous operating day and are not carried forward as an October 15 suspension. The new-day schedule awaits airport and airline updates; status is `transport / monitoring`, not red.
• Other Indigenous areas: The Central Weather Administration county table lists no active advisories. The slope-hazard system lists zero red or yellow debris-flow alerts and zero red or yellow large-scale-landslide alerts. The personnel administration page listed no work/class suspension as of 23:58 on October 14. No new threshold-level official change was found.

Nationwide assessment:

• North: No official threshold-level heavy-rain, thunderstorm, level-one flood, flash-rise, slope-alert escalation, road closure, evacuation, sheltering, work/class suspension, transport suspension, major agricultural-loss risk or public-service interruption was found for Wulai, Fuxing, Jianshi, Wufeng, Nanzhuang, Tai'an or lowland Indigenous areas; monitoring continues.
• Central: No such threshold-level official change was found for Heping, Ren'ai, Xinyi or Alishan; monitoring continues.
• South: No such threshold-level official change was found for Indigenous areas in mountainous Tainan, Kaohsiung or Pingtung; monitoring continues.
• East: The Wanli Creek channel and designated warning zone remain red. Lanyu's new-day air status is transport / monitoring. No new threshold-level official change was found elsewhere in Yilan, Hualien or Taitung Indigenous areas.

Recommended action: Do not enter the Wanli Creek embankment area, riverbed or designated warning zone. Lanyu travellers should confirm the new-day schedule with the airport or airline before departure. Follow the latest official notices.
