The annual Wanan (萬安) air raid drill will be held at 2:30pm today (N.d.P. - 28 Ago 2008
) in seven northern cities and counties, and residents in those areas are urged to stay inside of the building or follow instructions for evacuation during the 30-minute drill.
The drill, which covers areas between Hsinchu County and Ilan County, was rescheduled to today after complaints were raised over the plans to hold a nighttime drill earlier this month.
The Ministry of National Defense was criticized for disturbing the public by scheduling a nighttime drill. Premier Liu Chao-shiuan (劉兆玄) later told a Cabinet meeting that the ministry should move the drill back to the daytime so that it would not inconvenience people.
The ministry says people inside buildings should turn off their electricity and lights, and close their windows after hearing the siren.
Those who are outdoors should follow the instructions of the military or police officers, it said.
There will be traffic controls during the drill, but public transportation, including the Taipei MRT, Kaohsiung High Speed Rail, trains, boats and planes, will continue running during the period, the ministry said. Passengers who exit trains will be directed to designated areas, while drivers will be required to pull their vehicles to the curb, it said.
Failure to follow the rules could result in fines between NT$30,000 and NT$150,000. The Taipei City Government will monitor the situation from the 72th floor of Taipei 101.[
Taipei Times - 28 Agosto 2008]
Io il 28 Agosto ero DENTRO al 101. Al piano B1, per la precisione.
E giravo a zonzo cercando di capire quanto costasse del parmigiano o della pasta deCecco.
Finito l'interessante giro culinario, decido di andare al 4° piano, in modo da uscire sulla passerella aerea che collega il Mall del 101 ad altri 5 Mall della zona.
Ma un uomino che sembra uscito dalla versione spuffa di
Men in Black mi dice che "non sono autorizzata ad uscire
per motivi di ordine pubblico".
Lo guardo con aria perplessa e continuo il mio giro tra una vetrina di Prada e una di Vivienne Westwood.
Chiedendomi, onestamente, quale possa essere un
ordine pubblico che impedisca a dei cittadini di USCIRE da un edificio invece che di RESTARCI.
Oggi ho scoperto.
Simulazione di attacchi (ne)
amici.
