3. Due to the persisting low pressure circumfluence above Taiwan's mountain areas from Typhoon Bailu, areas with steep slopes are particularly prone to landslides and collapse immediately after a natural disaster (e.g. earthquake, typhoon). Please pay special attention to your surrounding conditions (e.g. rockfall, felling wood, loose or collapsed ground, flood-prone areas) and err on the side of caution.
