Introduction

The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau (SWCB) developed the LINE community application for the debris flow disaster prevention information website in 2007.

It is not only to provide another channel to receive disaster prevention information, but also to integrate disaster prevention information related systems to achieve synchronization of information, so that disaster prevention information can be shared and disseminated more quickly.

Project performance and benefits

    The following functions are available in the LINE community：
  • "Ask a Question"function, which provides an interactive conversation to analyse questions and reply to information in real time
  • "Real-time query"function provides information on maps, weather maps, observation stations, rainfall and debris flow warnings
  • "Alert"function provides localized information such as debris flow warning, cumulative daily rainfall and road access according to user's location
  • The "Online Resources" function provides disaster prevention education and training and free online courses.
  • The "Status Report"function provides disaster prevention officers with the ability to upload local disaster photos and report them immediately, allowing for quick consolidation of local information for reporting purposes
  • The "Rainfall Report" function provides disaster prevention officers to report the cumulative rainfall value at the site, including report and view records
  • "EOC"function provides soil and water conservation staff with quick access to important statistical summary information during the contingency period
