On September 16, 2024, 25 years after the 921 earthquake, the NGO Magnificent Taiwan Alliance held a "Backup Action Day" disaster emergency response drill in conjunction with the National Disaster Prevention Month. Mabugu Outdoor Equipment, as the Taiwan agent of KATADYN, provides Rapidyn as emergency drinking water equipment. This filter has become an indispensable part of disaster response drills due to its lightweight, no need for electric power and quick installation.

Vice President Hsiao Meiqin, Director of the American Institute in Taiwan Gu Liyan, Undersecretary of the Interior Ma Shiyuan, Fire Department Director Hsiao Huanzhang and other important figures were present to inspect and participate in the exercise. Vice President Hsiao mentioned in his speech that the Taiwanese people must be fully prepared in the face of unpredictable risks such as natural disasters and wars . She emphasized that even though we cannot control the occurrence of disasters, we can reduce injuries and keep communities and families safe through better training and preparation.

KATADYN Rapidyn: No need for electricity, quick to install and easy to carry

In this back-up operation day exercise, the high efficiency of KATADYN emergency water purifier Rapidyn was fully demonstrated. Filtration is suitable for providing instant drinking water in disasters or emergencies. Its biggest advantage is that it does not require electric power, which is especially critical in emergencies where resources are scarce. Its simple and quick installation design allows users to filter safe drinking water from natural water sources in a short time, avoiding health risks caused by the lack of clean water sources.

In addition, the removable design of the KATADYN emergency water purifier Rapidyn makes it a highly flexible device suitable for responding to various emergency situations, including natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons. It facilitates the rapid deployment of various rescue units and allows the public to use it easily, providing immediate drinking water security at the disaster site. This filter can effectively remove 99.99% of bacteria and parasites in water, ensuring water quality safety. Especially in Taiwan's changing climate and disaster environment, it has become an indispensable emergency equipment.

The importance of disaster response

In the face of unpredictable risks such as natural disasters and wars, we must be fully prepared to be able to respond and organize quickly when large-scale cross-regional disasters occur, and reduce the impact of disasters, thereby protecting ourselves and the people you love around you.

This year's 921 National Disaster Prevention Exercise will focus on strengthening Taiwan's emergency medical capabilities, which is an important and worthy of attention. We all work together to further enhance Taiwan’s ability to respond to disasters.
