On September 16, 2024, 25 years after the 921 earthquake, the NGO Magnificent Taiwan Alliance held a disaster emergency response drill called "Backup Action Day" in conjunction with the National Disaster Prevention Month. As the agent of KATADYN in Taiwan, Mabugu Outdoor Equipment provides Rapidyn as emergency drinking water equipment. This filter is an indispensable part of disaster response drills because it is lightweight, requires no electricity and can be installed quickly.
Vice President Bi-khim Hsiao, American Institute in Taiwan Director Robert Gillard, Interior Undersecretary Stephen Mashiro, Fire Department Director Hsiao Huan-chang and other important figures all attended the event to inspect and participate in the exercise. In his speech, Vice President Hsiao mentioned that in the face of unpredictable risks such as natural disasters and war , the people of Taiwan must be fully prepared. She stressed that even though we cannot control the occurrence of disasters, we can reduce harm and keep communities and families safe through better training and preparation.
KATADYN Rapidyn: No electricity required, quick installation, easy to carry
In this support action day drill, the high efficiency of KATADYN's emergency water purifier Rapidyn was fully demonstrated. Lvbijing is suitable for providing instant drinking water in disaster or emergency situations. Its biggest advantage is that it does not require electricity, which is particularly critical in emergency situations where resources are scarce. Its simple and quick installation design allows users to filter safe drinking water from natural water sources in a short period of time, avoiding the health risks caused by lack of clean water sources.
In addition, the portable design of KATADYN Rapidyn Emergency Water Purifier 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 protection at the disaster site. This filter can effectively remove 99.99% of bacteria and parasites in water, ensuring water quality safety. It is an indispensable emergency equipment, especially in Taiwan's changeable climate and disaster environment.
Importance of Disaster Response
In the face of unpredictable risks such as natural disasters and wars, we must be fully prepared so that we can respond and organize quickly when large-scale cross-regional disasters occur, and reduce the impact of disasters, thereby protecting ourselves and our loved ones.
This year's 921 National Disaster Prevention Drill will focus on strengthening Taiwan's emergency medical capabilities, which is an important area that deserves attention. We all work together to further enhance Taiwan’s ability to respond to disasters.
