The event will be an intitial engagement on the past and current state of cilvil defense in Taiwan for anyone who's interested, but find it hard to navigate these complex issue in Chinese. We will be sharing literatures, records, cases and a "knowledge map" that you can further explore on your own.
If you have following unanswered questions regarding protecting your own safety in a major conflict involving kinetic attack, you are recommend to attend.
- I heard there was a rich but traumatic history of civil defense in the martial law period, what was it like?
- What government agencies are responsible for what?
- Can I trust evacuation maps and sheltering facilities provided by National Police Agency (NPA) or National Fire Agency (NFA) on the web/app?
- Are there any first aid training courses available to foreigner who can’t master Mandarin or Taiwanese?
- Why do I need to have practical expectation of the ROC military, and what would they do in a major crisis (i.e. taking natural disaster for example)?
- What can I contribute to be better prepared? How? Where can I volunteer if I care so much about Taiwan?

關於本系列座談的兩三事
在區域衝突和戰爭的威脅之下，我們來自不同行業，但具有紮實本地經驗，能提出實際的各種在地案例和知識，並指出可行的自我學習和發展路徑。此外，我們在開春之後，針對整體台灣社會在衝突階段的各種基本觀念說明，讓社會的全體防衛整備度有好的理解切入框架，也讓我們能夠更有層次的討論全民防衛的實質問題，無論是在概念面、資訊面、政策面、技術教準面和整備面。
