The government says that the city’s first-ever typhoon drill named “Crystal Fish” succeeded in testing its recently drafted evacuation plan and its also recently designed command platform for emergency response.
The typhoon drill to be held between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday would imitate a storm surge, and residents in the high-risk flooding areas will be evacuated.
