This "718" flooding left 20 persons dead, six missing, and eight injured. Counties that are officially targeted for special attention with regard to flood control, including Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung, were all devastated as government responses always lagged a step behind developments.
此次「718」水災，總計造成全台 20 人死亡、6 人失蹤、8 人受傷；原本已排定為治水重點縣市的彰化、雲林、嘉義、台南、高雄等，因為政策執行遲了一步，全都淪為重災區。
