Typhoon FUNG-WONG Approaching — National Park Service Urges Visitors to Take Precautionary Measures

November 6, Taipei — Typhoon FUNG-WONG has developed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean and is projected to move northwestward in the coming days, potentially affecting weather conditions across Taiwan next week. The National Park Service today urged the public to stay alert and take early precautionary measures as unstable weather conditions are expected in mountainous and coastal areas.

The agency advised visitors to closely monitor official weather updates and follow safety advisories and control measures to ensure personal safety. Those planning mountain hikes or coastal activities in the near term are encouraged to carefully evaluate changing weather conditions and avoid entering high-risk areas before, during, and after the typhoon.

Each national park management office will activate disaster response mechanisms as necessary, based on local weather and on-site assessments. In the interest of public safety, trails and recreational facilities may be temporarily closed, activities suspended, or visitors evacuated. The National Park Service calls on the public to fully cooperate with park personnel and refrain from entering restricted areas.

Heavy rainfall during the typhoon period may loosen soil and rocks, cause landslides or flash floods in mountain areas, and generate high waves and strong winds along the coast. The agency reminds outdoor enthusiasts to check safety equipment, review weather forecasts, and confirm park and road conditions in advance to prevent accidents or being stranded due to inclement weather.

The National Park Service emphasized that protecting the natural environment and ensuring visitor safety are its top priorities. The public is urged to adopt a “Safety First” mindset and minimize non-essential travel during the typhoon period to safeguard personal well-being.
