Major’s Remarks:
1. The city government has announced an extension of the deadline to September 30 for households, retailers, and companies affected by Typhoon Gaemi to submit supplemental documents for subsidy applications for water-damaged vehicles. The Department of Information and International Relations is asked to assist the Civil Affairs Bureau to enhance public awareness of this extension to safeguard citizens' rights and interests. Additionally, as we remain in typhoon season with frequent short-duration heavy rainfalls that may lead to flooding, all bureaus and departments are urged to prepare and mitigate flood-prone areas or seek assistance from the central government to handle these situations collaboratively.
2. Tainan has launched the “Respect for Military Month” initiative for September. The city has prolonged the military appreciation promotions for an entire month. Currently, over 400 private businesses are providing exclusive discounts for military personnel. The Civil Affairs Bureau, the Tourism and Travel Bureau and other relevant departments are encouraged to promote this initiative widely. This effort will not only increase public awareness but also encourage more local businesses to participate, thereby achieving greater impact from the event.
