the one where the shoddy building collapsed?

Yes with the oil cans inside the walls

yeah

not sure if i felt that one

I was riding a scooter in Changhua while it happened any my first thought was that the scooter must have had some defekt. I thought it was the suspension breaking or a flat tire or something

That was the first earth quake I ever experienced

No idea how you guys can live with that

I keep an emergency kit around

Taiwan #1 besides the quakes

i made it a long time ago but i think there's nonperishable food, thermal blanket, clothing, hand-crank radio + flashlight, and plastic wrap inside it

That's smart

Does everyone in Taiwan do that?

I try to mention it to people if the topic comes up

You should rebuild it, this time putting one of those hand crank phone chargers in there

it's a combo radio+flashlight that has a usb port

is it a listen-only radio or can you broadcast?

listen only

I imagine people are starting to want to build these kits if they haven't

maybe something to broadcast if you end up stuck in a building

i've seen all these graphics being passed around on line

about what to pack in a kit

yeah, order one of those baofeng radios

Can you upload such a graphic?

I was more thinking of a walkie talkie or something you can modify to broadcast on police frequencies

worst case they save you and arrest you because you illegally used their frequencies

lol

That's what the baofengs are

They're slightly not so pocketable radios

if everyone had that idea then the emergency frequencies would be unusable

what's the police frequency in Taiwan?

dunno

i'd rather just rely on my phone and have a charger

GSM is a little too fragile in case of emergency imho

huh?

Although you might have a GSM connection nearby, if you don't get a full pass-through to your provider's endpoint, it's unusable

as long as it's set up correctly you should be picking up at least one long range frequency from a backup tower

i don't have line on my PC or discord on my phone so

on the other hand, everyone can listen to radio as long as they are nearby

just search 地震包

地震 = earthquake?

I remember a while ago even in country Australia something took out a a large tower near me
