The "Belize Urban Resilience and Disaster Prevention Plan" gave residents three extra hours to evacuate the area as floods triggered by the hurricane approached, said ICDF Deputy Secretary-General Chen Ai-chen (陳愛貞) at a Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference.

The ICDF is an aid organization headed by the foreign minister and partly funded by the government.

The project, launched by Taiwan in the Central American diplomatic ally in 2019 and expected to be completed in 2022, is focused on saving lives through technology that strengthens early flood warnings, updates maps, controls floods and raises disaster awareness.

Three hours is pretty good.
 
More evidence that small nations like Taiwan and Israel are worth our protection
