In May 2021 the
Legislative Yuan passed legislation which authorized the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency. The agency was inaugurated on December 30 2021 with an official launch date of January 1, 2022. It was created through the merger of the All-out Defense Mobilization Office and the
Armed Forces Reserve Command. The Agency published an updated
civil defense handbook in 2023. On September 16, 2025, it also published In Case of Crisis: Taiwan’s National Public Safety Guide 2025, a new “Civilian Defense Handbook” providing Taiwan residents with information about what to do in the event of war, earthquakes, and other emergencies. As part of this effort, they also launched a new website - prepare.mnd.gov.tw - that offered additional information and both the Chinese language and English language versions of the handbook. == Purpose ==
