The Legislative Yuan and the Executive Yuan yesterday decided against calling on the president to declare a state of emergency.
Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng said after a meeting with Premier Liu Chao-shiuan and the three legislative caucuses that they believed the government could handle disaster and relief procedures based on the provisions listed in the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act.
