Help Guangfu Recover: The town was devastated, and families need support. Please donate or share the GoFundMe here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebuild-guangfu-township-after-typhoon-ragasa

In this episode of Strait Talk with Xiangyu, I sit down with Angelica, who joined me in disaster relief efforts in Taiwan's Guangfu Township, Hualien County after Typhoon Ragasa. We share firsthand accounts of the widespread destruction, and discuss how government inaction and neglected infrastructure worsened the crisis.

We cover:

  • The overflow of the barrier lake at Matai’an Dam
  • The situation we saw on the ground
  • Challenges faced by the people of Guangfu
  • The local community's resilience and cooperation
  • Lessons for disaster preparedness
