Project for constructing a safe and comfortable homeland：Environmental Incidents Specialist Team in Central Taiwan

Absrtact	This project has completed 100% at the end of December, 2017. Our Environmental Incident Specialist Teams in central Taiwan operate in the Central Taiwan Science Park, Taichung (Taichung Team) and the Douliou Industrial Park, Yunlin (Yunlin Team) with 16 members in each team. Our services included 105 site inspections for toxic chemical operation plants (including the contract expansion), 42 no-notice tests for emergency operation, 6 drills with local Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB). In addition, we hosted governmental agency-training twice, mutual-aid training workshops twice, and 30 exercises with civil defense, counterterrorism or environmental incident drills (including the contract expansion). We also assisted local Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) to review 112 emergency response plans and to held ten regulation promulgation/education workshops. Furthermore, some team members attended EPA’s incident commander training and 12 regular technical meeting and 24 professional training sessions. We had completed our junior members basic operation and technical training before March, and they all attended the following professional operational level courses on October 18th and 19th and professional technical level courses on October 23th and 24th, both by Emergency Response Information Center (ERIC). We have responded to 38 events, with 11 incidents (5 and 6 incidents for Taichung and Yunlin Team) and 27 simulation drills (14 by Taichung Team and 13 by Yunlin Team). We also completed 51 hazard analysis on major suppliers of toxic substances operation in this area (including the contract expansion). In order to raise our capacity and knowledge for emergency response technology through experience exchange with other countries, some members had attended TEPA’s higher level incident command, training by Singapore Civil Defense Academy (SCDA) in June, 2017. And “Emergency Responder Operations Level Training Course” by Specialized Professional Services Inc (SPSI) in Washington, Pennsylvania in October, 2017. We also hosted a case study workshop conference with experts and government agencies on September 25th, 2017.
