The dedicated environmental accident consulting and monitoring center has five groups focusing on particular service areas: an administrative group, monitoring group, consulting group, air pollution task force, and technology group. This center's routine prevention and readiness implementation results included 1,294 media monitoring cases (including 336 domestic cases and 958 foreign cases) and 159 chemical consulting cases, for a total of 1,453 cases (the contractual requirement is at least 1,000 cases), as well as 305 air pollution incident monitoring and notification cases, and 108 notifications of the EPA's service units. In addition, emergency response and disposal results included on-site handling of 43 toxic chemical accidents, provision of 237 recommendations to on-site disaster response units (attainment rate of 100% for a first text message within 30 minutes; the contractual requirement is at least 90%), and seven "technology group work conference report and response videoconferences," and eight "online response task conferences," updated 308 relevant basic personal information items connected with the Central Toxic Disaster Response Center and performed telephone connection testing (1,089 person-times; the connection success rate was 100%), established 48 environmental accident consulting and air pollution response expert teams.
With regard to promotion of interchange with foreign environmental accident prevention and response experts and researchers, during May and June, we participated in the Tenth Meeting of the Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (COP7) and an IAFC conference, visited the Delaware Fire Safety Institute training facility and the Maryland Environmental Protection Department, and held four interchange and training conferences for foreign experts. A total of 325 persons participated in these events. Four specialists from Japan, Korea, and Singapore were invited to share their knowledge at a response interchange conference. International professional organizations involved in training conducted professional training for response command officers; personnel receiving training included or were affiliated with the Office of Disaster Management, Executive Yuan; National Development Council; Industrial Development Bureau, MOEA; Fire Control Administration, Environmental Protection Administration; Environmental Incidents Specialist Team; chiefs and deputy chiefs of city and county environmental protection bureaus; Emergency Response Information Center; Environmental Accident Technology Group; and the section heads of regional joint prevention organizations. A total of 26 persons took part in training, and received NFPA and OSHA certificates.
In order to strengthen domestic environmental accident prevention and readiness capabilities, we completed annual updates for 305 regulated toxic chemical substances and issued three environmental accident text message e-bulletins; a total of 10,759 e-bulletins were issued and the cumulative number of browsers totaled 615,231 person-times. We held a study conference on the US "Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act" that had 82 participants, and conducted 12 training class sessions with content including general knowledge operating grade, technological specialization grade, team leader skills, and EPA-issued instruments and equipment; the latter training classes had a total of 467 participants. We further completed checking of analytical and testing data for 20 environmental accidents, which yielded 870 sets of monitoring data. We held a toxic chemical substance joint prevention outstanding operation management activity in which 16 units received awards. We conducted a national environmental accident case symposium at the Kaohsiung International Conference Center; the three activities at this event included an awards ceremony for toxic chemical substances joint prevention organizations with outstanding operations management, discussion of toxic chemical substance accident cases in Taiwan, and an exhibition of response resources; participants numbered 436 persons.
Efforts to strengthen chemical handlers' joint prevention readiness capabilities, focused on 98 inter-regional joint prevention organizations encompassing 841 members, three regional joint prevention organizations (in northern, central, and southern Taiwan) encompassing 4,351 members, and the Ministry of National Defense joint prevention organization with 37 members. Our four major joint prevention promotion strategies constitute promotional conferences, organizational improvement, capability verification, and results announcement. We held explanatory meetings for inter-regional joint prevention organizations and the northern, central, and southern regional joint prevention organizations; a total of 207 persons attended these events. In conjunction with outstanding joint prevention operations management activities, organizational training, and operating model workshops, we completed 33 on-site operations exercises involving a total of 723 participants. With regard to plant operation safety management and hazard assessment in high-risk operating areas, we compiled hazard modeling studies and evacuate operation data for eight high-risk operating areas, including 1,703 scenarios and 786 map overlay records, conducted seven training classes in industrial areas where high-risk toxic chemical substance handling occurred, and a total of 171 persons took part in this training. We performed a total of 42 toxic chemical substance handling safety management assistance visits to SMEs in New Taipei, Taichung, and Tainan, and completed tracking of improvements; the results have been entered into the toxic chemical accident prevention management information system.
