Foreign-born Kaohsiung resident finds incorrect map location of air-raid shelters
Foreign-born Kaohsiung resident finds incorrect map location of air-raid shelters
2025-08-07
A serious error has been identified with the official map of air-raid shelters in Kaohsiung. That’s despite the fact that Taiwan’s annual joint military and civilian defense drills concluded just about three weeks ago. A foreign-born resident in the city has discovered that many shelters were incorrectly located on the latest map. And on top of that, there were even locations that should not have been selected in the first place. Our exclusive report.
He checks his phone to find the air-raid shelter listed on the map, but a look at the building shows that it’s not quite the same.

About half of Mingcheng Borough has this issue. We really need to be able to get to an air-raid shelter quickly. It’s safer that way.
Michel Deniau is a French teacher in Kaohsiung married to a Taiwanese woman. He wanted to check where he and his family would have to take shelter in an air-raid, but found a discrepancy on the official information. He then started to verify the listed locations in his neighborhood. Since then, he’s compiled a spreadsheet, on which the many cells marked in red are shelters with incorrect locations on the map.

I’ve lived in Taiwan for around eight years now. It’s my new home. I also hope to contribute my bit. I hope I can protect myself and my family, friends, students and other Kaohsiung residents.
Apart from incorrect locations, the spreadsheet also identifies locations that don’t have clear signage, even in the case of a police station. There’s also plenty of sites that are no good for shelters, a bottled gas supplier and a construction site.

When we do this kind of geo-tagging online for air-raid shelter identification, there’s also the issue of accuracy. If we make a mistake, then the public could be thrust towards a more dangerous location in the event of a disaster, or they would not even find a shelter to begin with.
Deniau says he was driven by his motivation to do his bit to help bolster Taiwan’s defense resilience.

獨家! 在台法國老師揭露 "避難所線上地圖"錯很大
2025-08-07
上個月漢光演習才剛結束，強調要強化台灣的防衛韌性，讓民眾遇到空襲時可以冷靜精準應對，但卻有住高雄的法國老師，拿出內政部提供的避難所線上地圖查對，卻發現上面資訊錯誤百出，不但有地點誤植的狀況，實際地點也缺乏指示，讓他很擔心如果真的用到時，恐怕沒時間讓民眾慢慢找。
拿出在手機上的防空避難地圖，實際比一比，眼前的大樓，卻跟地圖上說的不一樣，也找不到避難所指示。

“明誠里有大概一半以上有這種問題。真的需要快快可以去避難所，這樣更安全”
丹米契是來台灣快九年的法籍台灣女婿，現在在高雄教法文，原本只是想確認自己跟家人能避難的地點，卻發現有出入，開始從生活周遭一一確認。丹米契更是自己做成表格，上頭滿滿的紅字，全都是標錯地點的避難所。

“我已經住在台灣大概八年，是我新的家，我也希望會有出貢獻一下。希望可以保護我自己的家人，我朋友、我同學，還是其他的高雄市民”
光是從丹米契整理出來的資訊就發現，除了地圖標示錯誤，標示正確的現場也缺乏指示，連警局本身都看不見標示，甚至還有將瓦斯行與工地也變成避難所。

“我們一般在線上做這種防空識別的標示的時候，它會有一個準確度的問題。如果一旦都搞錯的話，就會變成民眾在災害發生的時候，跑到更危險的地方，或者他根本找不到可以躲的地方”
外籍女婿揪出問題，就盼強化台灣的防衛韌性，在需要時貢獻一己之力。
