PRESIDENT TSAI INSPECTS KEELUNG FLOOD DAMAGE, PROMISES FUNDS|總統赴基隆視察 強調提出分洪等整治方案

President Tsai Ing-wen went to Keelung, which was affected by the heavy downpour. She emphasized the central government has put forward flood prevention schemes and allocated necessary budget in place. Cooperation between the central and local governments will make sure the Ta-wu-lun River will not flood again. The excavators keep digging the riverbed to clean up the accumulated silt caused by pouring rain in early June. Inspecting Keelung for the first time after the disaster, President Tsai Ing-wen was very much concerned about the progress and Keelung City Mayor Lin Yu-chang and his team fully briefed her on all of the problems. After the briefing, President Tsai instructed the central and local governments to work together on the flood diversion schemes and said the Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program leaves flexible room for allocating insufficient fund. ==TSAI ING-WEN ROC President== If the funding is really insufficient, I think the water program in the Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program leaves flexible room for using the budget. We want to make sure the Ta-wu-lun River will never be inundated again. ==WU HUNG-MOU Public Construction Comm. Minister== Retention basin area and acquisition of land still need to be calculated in detail. However, we'll fully support the funding. Hearing the rainy season front will come again next week, local residents, who are still tidying up their homes, hope that pouring rain will not cause any damage again. ==HUANG YEN-CHO shop owner== When the rain comes, some lightweight machines may be moved or taken away. ==HUANG CHI resident== Tidying is not complete yet, and my basement is still in a mess, which needs pumping. On the afternoon of June 10, due to strong convection current, there was pouring rain in many places. The Central Weather Bureau issued heavy rain alert for mountainous areas in Nantou, Yilan, as well as counties and cities north of Kaohsiung, totaling 12. From midnight to 5 p.m., the rainfall in Hualien's mountainous areas was close to 100 mm and Taipei's Neihu also saw heavy rainfall. The CWB also reminded the public that the weather will become unstable from next Monday, adding that there will be rainy season front around Taiwan from June 14 to 19, affecting Taiwan for six days with the threat of heavy rainfall.
