After every typhoon, the news often reports on mountainous areas becoming ‘isolated islands’ due to road and bridge collapses, as well as water and power shortages.

Taoyuan City’s Fuxing District is one of these high-risk disaster areas, where it’s always a possibility that it could become an isolated island.
