ABSTRACT
Landslides have frequently occurred with the visibly abnormal climate change. One of these catastrophic landslide hazards occurred in the Leyte Island, Philippines, on 17 Feb., 2006. The Tuchang Tribute is located at Wufeng Village, Hsinchu County, northern Taiwan. The tribute has a population of approximately 100 people and more than 20 buildings. The landslide site is an immediate neighbor to the center of the tribute. Four stages of the responses for the landslide hazards relief are separated as actions before typhoon landfall, actions during typhoon landfall, emergency relief before disaster, and emergency rescue after disaster. The Central Emergency Operation Center was established on 23 Aug. for preparing the Typhoon Aere landfall in Taiwan. The Council of Agriculture on 17:40 23 Aug., gave information to those residents who live near to the potential debris flow torrents to pay attention to the increased rainfall and to prepare to evacuate for the mountainous areas in Hsinchu County.
