Taiwan’s safety guide distinguishes seven-day home supplies from a go bag

Guide launch: 16 September 2025
Source checked: 29 October 2026

Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense launched its revised public safety guide on 16 September 2025. The official guide website recommends at least seven days of household supplies and, separately, a personal evacuation bag for one to three days. It calls for checking supplies every six months.

What changed

The seven-day figure is for supplies kept at home, not the amount to carry while evacuating. The guide covers natural disasters and security emergencies; its publication is not evidence that a particular crisis is imminent. This packet does not establish when the duration advice was first introduced.

Who this is for

National household supplies and separate evacuation bag
