Next, the problems and their countermeasures of Taiwan’s regime of prevention and rescue from tsunami are also discussed in order to be a reference when improving the regime. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1. The damages causing by tsunami include destruction of building, people’s death, damage of float, paralysis of traffic and flood. Learning from lessons, it will cause a lot of damages when tsunami occurs. A damage causing from tsunami often makes a great impact internationally and globally. It can not be dealt with by a single country. On the contrary, it needs to be dealt with by joining the international organization and cooperating with each other. 2. Integrated regime of prevention and rescue means that one organization which can integrate all of relevant resources, has a coordination function, uses limited resources and improves the regime. In order to achieve the goals of protection of human life and safety of property, the damage management should adopt prevention, preparation, tackling, restoring stages. 3. Tsunami is not included in to the Taiwan’s Prevention and Rescue Act. Because implement of prevention tsunami work are lack of act authority, it will impact process of the prevention and restoring work. 4. Prevention system is a better system in the tsunami prevention system. However, tsunami is included into the project of prevention and rescue in 2007. Most of county and municipal governments don’t have the projects. The emergent work is to survey the basic information of tsunami damage. 5. From comparing Taiwan’s regime of prevention and rescue with American’s and Japan’s, the results show that our legal system, organization system, policy planning get better. The basic survey of damage, education and training items have to be improved. There are only a few projects in these respects. 6. This study suggest that the policy-making institute which can coordinate cross-sectors in the central government and coordinate the works among the different lever chief governments in order to do the work of tsunami prevention and handling and restoring well.
