National Disaster Prevention Day 2014 – Earthquake Tabletop Simulation

古人云：「凡事豫則立，不豫則廢」，這正是防患於未然的道理，事前的預防
工作做得好，遠勝過事後的補救。臺灣由於地理位置的特殊性，且位於歐亞大陸
板塊與菲律賓海板塊的交界處，故其地震活動甚為頻繁，每年有感地震發生次數

超過 300 次，而因地震所引起的災害中，海嘯的威力更不可忽視！

我國自 89 年起即明定每年 9 月 21 日為「災害防救日」，91 年起更名為「國
家防災日」，國家防災日係為提升全民防災意識及國家防災應變能力，每年均辦
理兵推、演習、研討會等活動，今（103）年內政部（消防署）在 9 月 19 日辦理

國家防災日地震災害兵棋推演，期能提升政府面臨震災重大複合性災情危機處理，
以及檢驗各單位應變、調度、救災等能力，本次推演除在中央災害應變中心進行
演練外，另宜蘭縣災害應變中心及花蓮縣災害應變中心亦同步配合參演，並首次

在地震災害演練中，納入運用防空警報系統發布海嘯警報，宜蘭縣五結鄉同時進
行海嘯避難疏散實地演練，期能有效發揮各級政府的災害應變能力，並加強民眾
防災避難意識。

The principle behind prevention can be summarized with the old notion that,“Success can only
be attained through careful preparation＂. The effectiveness of thorough preventative measures far
surpasses that of any hindsight after a disaster. Taiwan is an island located on the Pacific Ring of
Fire. Furthermore, the Philippine Sea Plate and Eurasian Plate converge along the east of the island.
Due to this special location, over 300 earthquakes strike this region each year. Indeed, we must not
underestimate the damage that earthquakes, not to mention tsunamis, may potentially inflict!

The origin of “National Disaster Prevention Day＂ can be traced back to the year 2000, when
Taiwan decided to designate September 21 as “Disaster Prevention Day＂. In 2002, it was renamed
to “National Disaster Prevention Day＂. The purpose of National Disaster Prevention Day is to
raise public awareness regarding disaster prevention, and to improve the country´s overall ability
to respond to disasters by organizing drills, exercises, and seminars each year. For this year (2014),
