Vì sao Đài Loan chuẩn bị sẵn sàng cho trận động đất mạnh dữ dội?
06 Apr, 2024
hàng thập kỷ rút kinh nghiệm từ các thảm họa, thắt chặt quy định xây dựng và nâng cao nhận thức cộng đồng giúp người dân chống chọi tốt hơn với trận động đất mạnh

Even the two buildings that suffered the most damage remained largely intact, allowing residents to climb to safety out the windows of upper stories. One of them, the rounded, red brick Uranus Building, which leaned precariously (nghiêng một cách bấp bênh) after its first floors collapsed, was mostly drawing curious onlookers.
The building is a reminder of how much Taiwan has prepared for disasters (chuẩn bị cho thảm họa) like the magnitude-7.4 earthquake that jolted the island on Wednesday. Perhaps because of improvements in building codes, greater public awareness and highly trained search-and-rescue operations (huấn luyện hoạt động tìm kiếm cứu nạn) — and, likely, a dose of good luck — the casualty figures were relatively low. By Thursday, 10 people had died and more than 1,000 others were injured. Several dozen were missing.
On Thursday in Hualien city, the area around the Uranus Building was sealed off, while construction workers (công nhân xây dựng) tried to prevent the leaning structure from toppling completely. First they placed three-legged concrete blocks that resembled giant Lego pieces in front of the building, and then they piled dirt and rocks on top of those blocks with excavators.

Taiwan has another major reason to protect its infrastructure (lý do chính để bảo vệ cơ sở hạ tầng): It is home to the majority of production for the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world’s largest maker of advanced computer chips. The supply chain for electronics from smartphones to cars to fighter jets rests on the output of TSMC’s factories, which make these chips in facilities that cost billions of dollars to build.
