Chiayi City Steps Up Underpass Flood Defenses Ahead of Plum Rain Front

As the plum rain season approaches, Chiayi City is taking proactive steps to ensure public safety by bolstering flood prevention measures, particularly for its underpasses. The city's Public Works Department has been diligently inspecting five key underpasses, including the Cultural Road underpass, and upgrading warning systems. This includes installing LED message boards, automatic water level sensors, and water level markers to alert drivers and prevent them from entering flooded areas. The recent emergency response drill for the Cultural Road underpass demonstrated the city's commitment to a swift and coordinated response to potential flooding incidents. The 'Ai Chiayi' app, integrated with a smart flood prevention platform, provides residents with real-time data on road surface water levels, drainage water levels, and CCTV footage, empowering them to stay informed and make timely decisions. This comprehensive approach highlights the city's dedication to safeguarding its citizens during the monsoon season.
