Major’s Remarks:
1. The January 21st earthquake occurred just before the Lunar New Year holiday. The Tainan City government responded swiftly with the distribution of relief funds, building damage assessments leading to the issuance of red and yellow notices, and post-disaster reconstruction efforts. We appreciate the dedication and service of the relevant bureaus and departments during the Lunar New Year holiday period, which brought comfort to the affected residents. Currently, while religious groups are assisting in the repair of buildings classified under the "white notice" category, the sheer number of such cases remains overwhelming. Therefore, we urge the relevant bureaus and departments to propose effective response measures. In post-disaster reconstruction, speed is critical—there is no such thing as "fastest," only "faster," to allow victims to return to normal life as soon as possible. Let us all work together toward this goal.
2. In addition to post-disaster reconstruction and support services, urban development and infrastructure projects must continue progressing. Regarding the relocation of the Yongkang Artillery School, the Tangshan Camp in Guanmiao District has been completed and is now undergoing intensive acceptance inspections. We anticipate its swift completion and handover to the Ministry of National Defense for occupancy, facilitating the timely vacating of the Yongkang Artillery School campus to accelerate the city's development. Regarding urban development, such projects as activity centers, parking facilities, road-smoothing projects, shuttle parking services, and tourism environment enhancements should continue to be refined and improved by the relevant bureaus and departments.
