關於防災與救災，安全城市應該有的省思
颱風過去了，很慶幸並沒有為台北帶來嚴重的災情，這幾天紛紛擾擾的爭論台北市放假標準的同時，世界上也發生了令人遺憾與振奮的新聞；日本中西部水患受災人數持續增加，以及泰國13名足球隊員被救出受困的洞穴。
這次的風災我們也許是幸運的，但不能過於依靠這樣的幸運；反省泰國的救災行動，專業與橫向的聯繫、各方的齊心都可以看到堅強向心的指揮，尊重專業沒有個人英雄的色彩投入與發言，相對於台灣北北基行政部門對於是否放假的紛擾很讓人擔憂在大型災害預防與救援上是否可以同心協力 ?
面對極端氣候以及無法預知的災害發生，我們都有可能涉險、也都需要做最好的防範，最後在此持續關懷日本水患受災的同時，也將極力督促市府在風在過後的復原與預防，並且為泰國足球隊救援行動感到振奮。
最後附上泰國救援行動的介紹連結，讓我們在颱風過後持續監督、持續努力
#安全城市的營造每個市民都是英雄
#防災生活一起努力

Sometimes, the worst of times brings out the best in people. If you have been following the story of 12 boys and their coach trapped in a cave in Thailand, this collage might be of interest. I have been following it for the past couple of weeks and put together a collection of pics from the Twitter feed of various folks on the ground in Chiang Rai. If you like to see what real life heroes and humanity at it best looks like, look no further. These are the pics of heroes on the ground in Thailand....from various parts of life (cave divers, Thai Navy Seals, water engineers, farmers, cooks, dry cleaners, birds nest hunters, small business owners, and many more.) Eight of these boys have been rescued so far. Hoping the remaining 5 and all their rescuers come back alive..... soon.
