Penghu County will suspend classes on 10/23

The Penghu County Government announced today that work and classes will be suspended tomorrow (23rd). It was originally scheduled to draw lots for candidates on the 23rd. However, after the typhoon hit, the county government announced that classes would be suspended. It was rescheduled to be held at the same time and location on October 27th.

Penghu County Governor candidate Wu Shujin of the Democratic Progressive Party was originally scheduled to set up a campaign headquarters on October 25, Chen Guangfu’s birthday, but it was postponed to November 8 due to the typhoon. President Lai Qingde’s visit to Penghu was also postponed.

Wu Shujin said that today's strong winds have caused many road trees to collapse in Penghu, traffic lights to fall off, and even the windows of the family support center to be damaged and unstable. In addition, the large waste disposal site in Jing'an is undergoing fire rescue, which makes her very concerned. It was originally planned to set up the campaign headquarters on October 25, Chen Guangfu's birthday, but I know that for Guangfu, "Penghu is safe and Taiwan is fine, which is the best birthday gift." Considering that VIPs may have official inspections after the typhoon, in order not to occupy any disaster relief and administrative resources and to focus all efforts on damage recovery, the establishment of the campaign headquarters was postponed to November 8.

In addition, Huaxin Uni's domestic services have been canceled for the whole day tomorrow, and sea and air transportation have been completely cut off, forming an isolated island.

In addition to the news of the collapse of road trees and street lights, and the shaking of signboard fences, there were reports of the Ruifeng fishing boat parked at Magong No. 3 Fishing Port capsizing and sinking. This fishing boat has been parked for many years and has been subject to water intrusion and sinking accidents many times. Because the captain was involved in the case and the fishing boat was mortgaged by the Penghu District Fisheries Association, it has not been dealt with for a long time.

According to the wind forecast of Typhoon Qiangbi warning data issued by the Central Meteorological Administration on October 22, the maximum gusts in Penghu County reached level 10 to 11, which has reached the standard for suspending work and classes. In order to protect the safety of county residents and prepare for various typhoons, Penghu County will suspend work and classes tomorrow. Villagers are reminded to avoid unnecessary going out and to pay attention to the latest typhoon developments.
