Qiangtaiqiangpi approaches the walrus and is bad! Coast Guard launches full-scale typhoon prevention, with fines up to RMB 250,000 for breaching warning zones

The latest forecast information from the Central Meteorological Administration shows that the outer circulation of Typhoon "Qiangpi" is strong. Coupled with the dual influence of the northeast monsoon, a maritime typhoon warning is expected to be issued as early as late tonight to tomorrow. Long waves have already occurred along the coast and the walrus is severe. The Coast Guard has now fully launched preparations for typhoon prevention. At the same time, it cooperates with the Harbor Bureau of the Ministry of Transport to persuade and evict commercial cargo ships stranded in the warning area, making every effort to prevent maritime accidents and ensure the safety of navigation in my country's waters.

The Coast Guard said that based on the path predicted by the Central Meteorological Administration, the typhoon will pose a serious threat to the northern and eastern half of the coast. Long waves have already occurred along the coast, and the wave height on each sea surface has increased to more than 4 meters. It is estimated that the impact will reach more than 6 meters during the most severe period. The walrus is extremely bad.

Therefore, all coastal and maritime patrol units under their jurisdiction have been requested to be more vigilant, strengthen preventive preparations for areas with high disaster potential, initiate various disaster avoidance and reduction measures as soon as possible, and simultaneously grasp the changes in coastal wind and waves, information on flight suspensions on outlying islands, and ship dynamics in the port area to ensure the safety of front-line services and the safety of people's lives and property.

The Coast Guard emphasizes that after local governments announce the establishment of warning zones, strict control will be implemented in accordance with the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act. Those who enter the warning zone without permission will be issued with tickets and handed over to the local government for imposition of a fine of not less than NT$50,000 but not more than NT$250,000. The public is advised not to break the law or ignore the risks.

During a typhoon, walruses change rapidly. Entering the warning zone illegally not only endangers your own life, but also greatly increases the risks for frontline rescuers. We urge the public not to go to the beach to watch waves, fish, or engage in various water activities, and to make more use of the "GoOcean Marine Recreation Risk Information Platform" to understand real-time wave heights and sea conditions.
