On August 9, local staffers from the Puncar Action project-which was focused on Tainan County, one of the three hardest hit counties, from the start-happened to see appeals for help being left on the Plurk account of the county executive, Su Huan-jhih. It was thanks to the emergency notifications sent by these local staff that the county government was able to rescue more than 10 disaster victims who were without any outside aid.
原本即以台南縣為重要據點的胖卡行動，派駐當地的執行人員在 8 月 9 日當天，意外在縣長蘇煥智的噗浪網站上發現有人求救的訊息，由於他們的緊急通報，縣政府才能及時救出受困無援的十餘名災民。
