Taiwan faces significant challenges due to climate change, as rainfall patterns are increasingly shifting toward short-duration, high-intensity events. Although the government has implemented various flood control projects, the protective capacity of existing infrastructure remains limited. Extreme rainfall can still lead to severe flooding, as evidenced by the 2018 flood in southern Taiwan. In addition to structural measures, non-structural approaches—such as the mobile deployment of mobile pumps, community-based disaster prevention initiatives, and water monitoring systems—are essential for mitigating risks and reducing losses.
Currently, the deployment of mobile pumps heavily relies on personnel experience and ad hoc government requests, underscoring the need for systematic and scientific dispatch mechanisms. This study integrates data from rainfall forecasts, QPESUMS, flood sensors, and pump distribution to develop a comprehensive dispatch mechanism for proactive deployment and disaster response. The proposed strategy aims to enhance the efficiency of flood prevention and mitigation efforts in vulnerable areas during extreme weather events.
