[Reporter Chen Xianyi / Taitung Report] The Taitung earthquake hit Ridge Valley towns and towns hard. A restaurant in Luye Township was severely tilted and cracked. The family of the owner has not dared to move in. They can only sleep in tents outdoors, while the elderly sleep in their cars. Worrying about aftershocks every day, Taitung County Magistrate Rao Qingling went to the site today to send condolences and promised that the county government would try its best to accompany the people to stay safe and secure during this period.

On September 17 and September 18, the strong earthquakes hit Taitung Rift Valley towns for two consecutive days. In addition to the serious damage to the low-temperature storage barrels of the Guanshan Ready-Mixed Concrete Plant, the Farmers' Association and the Xinqiankun Rice Milling Plant, many houses and shops were also affected. There are still affected households outside their houses. Don't dare to enter the room when pitching a tent.

Taitung County Councilor Chen Hongzong used the county government's general question to ask Rao Qingling and construction director Xu Ruigui to help apply for disaster compensation, including a restaurant in Luye Township and two residents with the surname Huang, who were seriously slanted and cracked. Complete the rebuild soon.

Chen Hongzong said that since the earthquake, the family of the restaurant owner dared not live in the building anymore. Even the elderly grandma had no choice but to sleep in the car temporarily, while the rest of the family slept in tents by the roadside.

Due to the epidemic, the restaurant's operating income has dropped sharply before, and now even the buildings where they live are unable to provide daily living needs due to the strong earthquake.

Rao Qingling promised to instruct the Construction Department to respond to the disaster situation on the ground when the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Central Government and the Construction Department dispatched personnel to investigate the disaster in the morning and the day after tomorrow, and asked the central government to agree to include the relevant subsidy measures.
