民防運作
與行動
如果高默展現了民防的「剛」,那麼我們與台灣民防協會劉玉皙教授的訪談,則讓我們深刻體會到民防的「柔」。劉教授為我們揭示了老弱婦孺在民防中的關鍵定位,以及不容忽視的「金融韌性」。
If S.T.A represents the "hard" strength of civil defense, our interview with Professor Liu from the Taiwan Civil Defense Association allowed us to deeply appreciate its "soft" flexibility. Professor Liu revealed the crucial role of the elderly, women, and children in civil defense, as well as the importance of "financial resilience" that cannot be ignored.
平時整備與訓練:建立大腦、身體與資產的防火牆

自主防護與居家堡壘
民防的核心在於「主動」。對於老弱婦孺或行動不便者,在極端災害發生、交通停擺時移動反而會增加風險。因此,「就地避難」並在家中儲備足夠的糧食與慢性病藥物,就是最安全的選擇。「照顧好自己,不增添避難所與社會的負擔,就是對民防最大的貢獻。」 -
建立「金融韌性」
錢也是物資的一種。劉教授特別提醒,面對重大無預警危機,我們必須準備「金融避難包」——在家中或身上備妥現金,以應對斷電導致 ATM 停擺或信用卡失效的窘境。 -
資訊過濾
在假訊息橫行的時代,建立「信任機構名單」是最重要的心防演練,透過理性的訊息過濾機制,我們才能在動盪中保持冷靜。

Self-Protection and the Home Fortress
The core of civil defense lies in being "proactive." We used to think it required excellent physical strength, but Prof. Liu introduced the "Home Fortress" concept. For the elderly, vulnerable, or mobility-impaired, moving during an extreme disaster when traffic is paralyzed can actually increase risk. Therefore, "sheltering in place" and stocking up on enough food and chronic medication at home is the safest choice. "Taking care of yourself and not burdening shelters or society is the greatest contribution to civil defense." -
Building "Financial Resilience"
Money is also a survival resource. Prof. Liu specifically reminded us that facing major sudden crises, we must prepare a "financial go-bag"—keeping cash at home or on hand to deal with the dilemma of ATMs shutting down or credit cards failing due to power outages. -
Information Filtering
In an era rampant with misinformation, building a "trusted institutions list" is the most important psychological defense drill. Through rational information filtering mechanisms, we can remain calm during turmoil.
關鍵時刻的角色:硬中帶柔的社會防護網
- 打破刻板印象,女性撐起半邊天
過去民防照片總給人強悍的軍警消印象。然而劉教授指出,當重大危機發生,多數專業救援人力必須投入第一線高強度任務時,社區後方的民防將以女性為核心主力。未來的民防形象應展現「硬中帶柔」的韌性。
- Breaking Stereotypes—
Women Hold Up Half the Sky
Past civil defense photos often gave people the impression of tough military and police personnel. However, Professor Liu points out that when major crises occur, most professional rescue personnel must be deployed to high-intensity frontline tasks, so community-based civil defense will rely on women as the core force. The future image of civil defense should showcase "rigid yet gentle" resilience.
- 聚焦軟性功能與生活化
民防不僅是體能訓練,更是維持社會運轉。在真實的「城鎮韌性演習」中,我們看見里長帶著社區婆婆媽媽製作並發送麵包;在平時,我們透過「幼兒園防空避難演練」或發放「寵物避難手冊」,讓民防褪去生硬的色彩,變得親民且貼近生活。CPR 急救、燙傷處理與照顧弱勢,這些軟性工作正是民防最真實的樣貌。
- Focusing on Soft Functions and Daily Life
Civil defense is not just physical training; it's about keeping society running. In real "urban resilience drills," we saw village heads leading local mothers in baking and distributing bread. During peacetime, through "kindergarten air raid drills" or distributing "pet evacuation guides," civil defense sheds its rigid image and becomes approachable and close to everyday life. CPR, burn treatment, and caring for the vulnerable—these soft tasks represent the truest form of civil defense.
-
積極撤離
「逃」具有積極的避險意義。有組織地向安全地帶撤離是減少傷亡的首要任務,以保留社區復原的火種。
-
社區巡守
災害期間,基層巡守隊協助治安與物資調度,在政府資源抵達前,確保鄰里不因恐慌而陷入混亂。
-
合法授權
民防運作必須建立在合法性之上。所有救災行為皆須符合內政部規範,避免產生法律爭議,建立大眾信任。
-
Active Evacuation
"Fleeing" has a positive risk-avoidance meaning. Organized evacuation to safe zones is the primary task to reduce casualties and preserve the community's seeds of recovery.
-
Community Patrols
During a disaster, rank-and-file patrol teams assist with security and resource dispatch, ensuring neighborhoods don't fall into chaos out of panic before government aid arrives.
-
Legal Authorization
Civil defense operations must be built on legality. All disaster relief actions must comply with Ministry of Interior regulations to avoid legal disputes and build public trust.
