By Dennis Xie / Staff writer, with CNAThe Taiwan Disaster Prevention Industry Association on Thursday declared a climate emergency in Taiwan, urging the government to devise medium to long-term measures to prepare for climate change. That is why leaders in Taiwan should propose strategies, one of which should be to integrate disaster prevention systems across all governmental levels, association director Peng Chi-ming (彭啟明) said. “Taiwan is no longer a frog sitting in tepid water, the water is already boiling,” Shan said. Japan proposed a nationwide disaster prevention project in 2013, Wang said. Second, the government should integrate its disaster prevention systems across all levels, and introduce a complete set of disaster prevention laws and plans, it said.
