Major’s Remarks:
1. In recent days, intermittent heavy rains have been occurring frequently. Relevant bureaus and departments are urged to monitor the recession of water accumulation in urban areas closely and take measures to prevent the blockage of ditches, sewers, and manhole covers. Enhanced inspections are requested to ensure effective management. Following rainfall, low-lying areas are prone to water retention, fostering the breeding of vector mosquitoes. The recently released vector-borne mosquito index by the Public Health Bureau indicates elevated levels. All bureaus and departments are called upon to intensify prevention and control efforts to avert local dengue fever outbreaks. Last year's dengue fever epidemic resulted in over 21,000 infections, imposing significant strains on government manpower and material resources. Therefore, all bureaus and departments are urged to bolster prevention measures this year, addressing issues proactively to prevent exacerbation. It is more prudent to strengthen prevention measures in advance than to address containment and mitigation efforts after an epidemic spreads, as this could undermine municipal governance and public confidence. The Civil Affairs Bureau, Social Affairs Bureau, alongside other relevant departments, district offices, and volunteers, are urged to mobilize fully to reinforce dengue fever prevention efforts.
2. This upcoming Saturday marks the start of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, with consecutive days off. The Police Bureau and Transportation Bureau are urged to implement measures to facilitate crowds returning to their hometowns and encourage the use of public transportation. Tainan City boasts a thriving tourism sector, and it is our aspiration that individuals opt for public transportation more frequently to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance overall driving efficiency.
3. For the "Demolition and Reconstruction Project of Changan Village Activity Center in Annan District," the Civil Affairs Bureau is tasked with designing it with a focus on multifunctional utilization.
