Experience Sharing of a Nurse Participating in the 0403 Hualien Earthquake Search and Rescue as a member of the Special Rescue Team

Purpose: The Hualien County Special Rescue Team is a mission-oriented organization. During normal times, team members are on duty at various stations. In major disasters, they are contacted via group messaging to assemble at the Special Rescue Brigade before deployment. On regular days, apart from officers, only a small number of team members are on duty at the brigade headquarters. When a disaster occurs locally, due to damaged railways and roads, the rescue team can’t arrive there at the first time.
