While World Vision is working on distributing emergency supplies to victims, The Salvation Army in Taiwan is working with the country’s military in its rescue operation. It plans to help transport people and household goods back to villages once the crisis is over, provide medium-term shelter/housing and community buildings to victims, distribute disinfectant, water and other cleaning materials and equipment to affected villages in hard-hit Tainan County, and provide sleeping bags to the growing number of refugees in emergency shelters.
