Therefore, natural disasters such as earthquakes, windstorms, and floods occur frequently. In recent years, however, new kinds of disasters such as gas explosion, chemical disasters, nuclear disasters also strike, due to the expansion of city construction, the increase of population density and the rapid development of high-tech industrial parks. These disasters hold people’s lives and property in danger. In order to make the best of emergency communication system when a disaster strikes, we should make thorough preparation in advance. Otherwise, history would repeat itself. For example, when the 921 earthquake hit in 2000, rescuers had difficulty communicating via devices because the communication base stations of different telecommunications companies, public or private, were destroyed. Rescuers under such circumstance couldn’t know what happened to some areas, and this is believed to be one of the main causes of heavy casualties. 01 ◆ 圖.文 / 消防月刊編輯室
