Stores sell out of disaster relief supplies as volunteers flock to Hualien
Stores sell out of disaster relief supplies as volunteers flock to Hualien
2025-10-01
After Typhoon Ragasa devastated Hualien’s Guangfu Township, thousands of people have been volunteering to help in the recovery effort. Disaster relief supplies, such as shovels and rain boots are sold out at many big box stores in Taipei. One store even set up a "superhuman equipment area" where volunteers can quickly find everything they need.
Equipped with shovels, waterproof boots and gloves, hats, and buckets, these volunteers are ready to help Hualien recover from the aftermath of Typhoon Ragasa. Thousands of people from around Taiwan have journeyed to Guangfu Township to help, but they need the right equipment first.
Buckets, gloves, fast-drying pants, and rain boots are all necessities. One supermarket even set up a “superhuman equipment area” so that volunteers can quickly find everything they need.
Member of public
Shovels are here, then boots are over there, so people run all over searching. Putting these things together should make it more convenient for people who want to go help.
Rain boots are already in short supply, with only shorter boots remaining. Stores are rushing to restock as quickly as possible.
Voice of Chang Chun-hung
Store spokesperson
Where are the rain jackets, where are the shovels? We put the necessary equipment together in one area so that volunteers can easily find what they want.
One customer bought all the large shovels, and all 30 pairs of rainboots that are normally on the top shelf have vanished. Stores are requesting new supplies nearly every day, and shipments are coming in two or three times more often than usual. They are doing their utmost to supply volunteers with everything they need.

全台志工衝花蓮光復救災 賣場特設"超人裝備專區"
2025-10-01
最近許多民眾自動自發前往花蓮光復鄉，協助救災。台北有五金百貨的貨架幾乎被搬空，挖土用的大鏟子、長筒雨鞋都被一掃而空。另外，有賣場特別設了"超人裝備區"，方便志工們採購時，不需要到處找商品，能盡快備集用品出發，支援前線。
穿上雨鞋，戴上帽子，拿著大鏟子清除淤泥，來自全台各地的鏟子超人聚集在花蓮光復鄉，幫忙救災，出發前都需要採購裝備。
水桶、工作手套，速乾的長褲，還有長筒雨鞋都是必備。為了方便熱心民眾，變身鏟子超人前採購方便，有賣場特別設置了超人裝備專區。

“鏟子在這邊，然後鞋子在那邊，他就在這邊跑來跑去找。把它統一在一起，應該會方便一些想要去幫忙的人。”
原本放置雨鞋的區域已經全空，只剩短筒的，業者緊急進貨。

“雨衣放在哪裡啊、鏟子放在哪裡啊，要攜帶的一些裝備，我們把它集中在一區，志工們能更好找到他們想要的東西。”
客人一次就買走10把大鏟子，原本放在貨架上層的2、30雙雨鞋，已不見蹤影。通常是快賣光才叫貨，過去幾天，店家幾乎每天叫貨，進貨量是平常的2到3倍，這波支援前線的物資需求，賣場通路想盡辦法、滿足鏟子超人們。
