In addition, Taiwan encounters several debris and flooding disasters during heavy rain in typhoon seasons annually due to the Western Pacific Ocean monsoon climate. Moreover, 73% of the lands are slope lands and Alpine woodlands, most of the population lived in plains, which occupied 25% of Taiwan and developed into dense urban areas of industry and commerce often. Extreme rainfall patterns and earthquakes occur in recent years make geology conditions into an unstable state. This consequence leads to a higher frequency of various disasters such as flood, drought, land slide and complex disasters. To deal with this situation, the government formulates several kinds of disaster prevention maps and implements necessary response. The purpose of this study is to delineate the disaster prevention map of Taichung city via Geospatial PDF and to compare with the existing one as practicality and feasibility, escape routes planning, feasibility analysis of the disaster prevention refuge and the training of disaster prevention education to discuss the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of these maps. Recommends to the improvements of disaster prevention map will be put forward then. The disaster prevention map developed in this study with the characteristics of manipulating disaster information instantly, which is helpful to strengthen the disaster prevention ability.
