Factors that may block the transmission of a Warning
Message
• Examples of Technical Blocking Factors – Technical trouble of information transmission system– Break up of communication lines or power failure
• Examples of Human Blocking Factors– The person who uses the information system does not
understand how to use it.– The person who receives the information does not
notice the fact.– The relay person who receives information forgets or
mistakenly neglects to contact and convey the message to another party.

Community citizens’ active participation
Taiwanese simple rainfall observation device
• It is significant that local residents measure rainfall by themselves.
• They can realistically understand and get hands –on experience on how much rainfall means and how dangerous it is to them.
Simple Rain-gauge in Taiwan: The River Bureau has distributed this to residents in order to help prevent sediment disaster. Residents can thus observe rainfall. If rainfall amount reaches over the red line, they should immediately evacuate independently.

Support for Vulnerable People
• Vulnerable people are those who need special assistance at the time of disaster.
– physically handicapped persons, the elderly, pregnant women, small children, poor people, etc.
• Even healthy people who do not know an area well are also considered vulnerable people.
– Foreigners and travelers are examples
1. Identify what kind of vulnerable people are in the area.
2. Have a plan how they will be helped in case of a disaster.
