Meanwhile the Council of Agriculture warned the public that the typhoon season had already arrived in Taiwan, and that the earthquakes would have loosened soil and rocks; heavy rainfall could lead to serious landslides, and people living in or near mountain areas should take precautions.
農委會則警告國人，台灣已進入颱風季節，地震後土石鬆動，若再經大量雨水沖刷，可能釀成嚴重災害，靠近山區的居民必須小心防範。
