Taiwan issued its first war handbook advising citizens how to respond in the wake of an attack, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine raises fears of a Chinese incursion at home.
The document released Tuesday by the Ministry of National Defense provides QR codes for locating air raid shelters, a list of items to stockpile for wartime and mobilization information for military reserves.
"The pamphlet simulates wartime situations and guides the public in various scenarios, so they can learn to adopt the necessary response measures,” Liu Tai-yi, director at the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency’s materials division, said in an online briefing, unveiling the pamphlet. The 28-page document is available for download, and regional governments are encouraged to update it with localized information.
