Because the central government's "emergency management center" was unable to get a clear picture of the overall situation, many doctors and overseas disaster relief specialists who arrived in central Taiwan one and two days after the quake ended up wasting time on circuitous detours because they couldn't find out which roads were passable.
中央防救中心並未掌握整體情況，這使得災變過後的一兩天，許多自願參加救援的醫師及國內外救援團體在前往災區時，卻因為道路資訊不足而折返繞路，延誤救災時間。
