Sunshine Action / Unable to Prevent the Tragedy of Collapsing Buildings due to Yellow Labeling

Reported about 1 year ago

After the 403 major earthquake on June 10, 2024, multiple walls and beams of Taipei's Nanjichang Apartment cracked, leaving residents fearful. Following the strong earthquake in Hualien, at least seventy-five buildings were labeled red and seventy-two labeled yellow, with the 'Mountain and Sea View' building in Ji'an Township being red-listed, requiring complete reinforcement of external walls and partial internal deformation repair. The article discusses the reluctance of affected residents to bear the financial burden of structural reinforcement, with many hesitant to apply for government subsidies despite the potential risks posed by weakened buildings after earthquakes.
