前言

我國歷經 88 年 921 大地震災後，政府為保障民眾生命財產安全，本著「前事不忘，後事之師」
的態度，除了悼念地震中逝世的災民與警惕自然災害的威脅，並於 89 年訂定每年 9 月 21 日為「國家

防災日」；消防署也修訂災害防救法第 16 條「為處理重大災害搶救等應變事宜，內政部消防署應設
訓練中心」，以落實緊急應變防災、救災人員等教育訓練。

政府深感救災的重要性，責由消防署於 921 地震傷亡慘重的南投縣，建立世界第 3 大的訓練中心，
其面積僅次於英國消防學院及美國德州農工大學消防訓練中心，藉以提醒國人及參加本中心相關訓練
課程的民間救難人員、政府消防人員、國軍救災人員，莫忘在這塊土地上發生過的歷史事件，這也是
讓我們深刻惕勵及向前邁進的原動力！

After the Great Chichi Earthquake of September 21, 1999, to protect people’s lives and property, based on the
attitude of learning from the past, in addition to mourning the dead and becoming extra-vigilant with regard
to the threat of natural disasters, the government also made September 21 every year National Disaster Day
in 2000. The NFA also amended Article 16 of the Disaster Prevention and Rescue Act: “The NFA should
establish a training center to prepare to respond to major disasters” to carry out disaster emergency response
and disaster rescue personnel training.
Deeply aware of the importance of disaster rescue, the NFA gave Nantou County, which suffered a large
number of casualties in the 1999 quake, the responsibility of setting up the world’s third biggest fire service
training center, behind only The Fire Service College in the UK and Texas A&M University Fire Training
Center in the US. The aim is to remind all the members of civil rescue groups, fire department firefighters, and
ROC army disaster rescue personnel trained at the center to always remember the historic tragedies that have
taken place in this. It is these past tragedies that provide us with the motivation to try to always improve!
