每到颱風季，電視中常出現民眾於颱風天冒險登山、下海嬉戲而遇難，需要消防隊前往救援之新聞畫面。如果民眾於颱風天不顧自身安危，違法闖入山區、海洋，而需救難隊前往搶救者，其浪費國家救災資源之行為，全民不應為其共同承擔苦果。
因此，災害防救法第30條第1項規定：「各級政府成立災害應變中心後，指揮官於災害應變範圍內，依其權責分別實施下列事項 二、劃定警戒區域，製發臨時通行證，限制或禁止人民進入或命其離去。」當颱風警報想起，各級攻府將山區、海邊劃定為警戒區域後，如果民眾無故不聽勸導，擅自進入警戒區，或堅持不願下山、上岸而勞動救難隊前往救援者。依災害防救法第55條規定，將可處五萬元以上，二十五萬元以下之罰鍰。
為確保民眾生命安全並節約國家救災資源，呼籲民眾萬勿在颱風天冒險違法上山下海，以免受罰，得不償失。

Every typhoon season, news reports often show people who go hiking or swimming during typhoons, only to get into trouble and require emergency rescue by firefighters or rescue teams. When someone ignores official warnings and enters dangerous mountain and coastal areas during a typhoon, putting themselves at serious risk and forcing rescue team to respond, it raises a big question: should the public have to bear the cost of their poor decisions?
According to Article 30, Paragraph 1 of the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act, after establishment of disaster response centers, the commander of the disaster response center may, subject to the extent necessary for disaster response, make the following affairs under the name of the agency designated by the commander: delimit a precaution zone to limit or forbid people to enter or order to leave by issuing temporary pass. So when a typhoon warning is issued, and the government declares certain mountain or coastal area as restricted zones, anyone who ignores warnings, enters without permission, or refuses to leave - and ends up needing rescued - may be subject to penalties. Under Article 55 of the same Act, violators can be fined between NT$50,000 and NT$250,000.
