    It’s striking how the people living in these vulnerable areas bear the brunt, not just from one storm but from back-to-back disasters. I wonder how much support actually reaches those families once the immediate danger passes, especially when recovery drags on and resources get stretched thin.

    The real test is whether Taiwan's emergency teams can keep aid flowing post-storm, like using pre-stocked supplies in those vulnerable areas to avoid delays.
