Taiwan is right on the Circum- Pacific seismic zone. Also due to climate change, earthquakes and torrential rains have become a common occurrence and a nightmare for the Taiwanese.

The Foundation has also set up the Rescue Strategies Alliance together with GeoThings Inc. to allow relevant departments to keep track of real-time disaster information and arrive at places with the most urgent needs.

There are so many details about the airplane that we never think of, but it requires so many hard-working, professional and dedicated behind-the-scenes staff to complete the execution of a safe flight.
