April 12 (UPI) — Taiwan’s military issued a civil defense handbook on Tuesday with information for citizens on how to respond to emergencies including a military attack as concerns over China remain heightened in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The 28-page handbook features QR codes that can be scanned to find bomb shelter locations and offers safety instructions for air raids, fires, building collapses and major power outages
The illustrated guide also includes mobilization information for military reservists in case a war breaks out.
Liu Tai-yi, an official with Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, told a press briefing Tuesday that the manual would “improve the public’s awareness and safety preparations when faced with military or other possible crises and disasters.”
