Due to the potential risk and various scenarios on the disaster spot, the feasible amount compensation would be with controversy from time to time. As for the content of casualties compensation of the task forces, it is specifically stated in Article 47 of current Disaster Prevention and Protection Act, 「Any one becomes injured, ill, disabled, or dead in the course of carrying out disaster prevention and protection action under the Act, payment(s) may be claimed according to applicable requirements related to his/her regular job. In the event that the claim set forth in the first paragraph herein is prevented from claiming payments, the payment(s) shall be paid according to the following requirements by referring to that permitted for the voluntary fire fighter.」 Under which, two main principles of compensation are clearly indicated: One will be relied on the job status of the casualty in the task forces. The other one emphasizes that those who can’t apply for it will adopt compensation as for volunteer firefighter. However, due to variety of budget sources, there are lots of differences among the possible compensation for their applicable identities and regulations respectively. Disputes happened in practice since it is difficult to have a clear picture for all of the compensation. Therefore, this study proposed an algorithm with relevant parameters defined to quantify compensation amount, with which a variety of compensation measures would be discussed more objectively. For this reason, based on the sources of budgets, this study divides the algorithm structure into three parts: government, social insurance and non-profit organization. In addition, current regulations regarding to compensation based on identity were integrated and analyzed in accordance with our current disaster prevention and relief workers so that salary, years of service and years of compensation were converted to the consistent base to calculate compensation amount by algorithm structure. Even those who do not have exact years of casualties compensation, they can be consistently converted with reference of compensation years for death of civil servant.
According to the research result, there is significant difference of compensation between civil servant and non-civil servant of disaster prevention and relief when they are dead or disabled because of performing their tasks. The compensation gap for death is around 2.26-17.73 times and that for disabled is around 1.81-9.17 times. Secondly, according to the statistics of Taiwan Long-term Care Professional Association, care fees each month are approximately $50,000-60,000. Compared with current compensation for disabled, it shows that all disaster prevention and relief workers can’t cover long-term care fees. Among which the actual fees are 2.51-12.77 times higher than compensation for non-civil servant of disaster prevention and relief. Based on the calculation result of this study, there’s room for improvement of casualties compensation of disaster prevention and relief workers. It is suggested that each compensation calculation can use formula from this study in the future to review current compensation amount and compare with long-term care cost. After all, ongoing review and improvement is used to strengthen protection of the casualties compensation for disaster prevention and relief workers.
