臺北市行動防災 vs Raining Bell

臺北市行動防災App除了可掌握即時的天氣資訊（雨量、水情及颱風警報）、停班停課資訊、監控影像、醫療院所、防災公園及防災地圖等緊急避難資訊，亦新增本市災情案件查詢及展示功能，提供本市民眾掌握即時災況。另為提供更精準的防災地圖定位服務，本App將取用位置權限用於防災地圖定位，以協助使用者迅速判定自身所在位置及周邊避難資源。同時也設計了「關注資訊」功能，可自由選訂所需的資訊，並使用顏色區分降雨強度，以更直覺的方式顯示及判別降雨量之大小，並達到提醒之功能。

“Raining Bell” integrated with “Firefly” Smart Weather Service App Raining Bell is an industry–academia collaborative project that applies real-time radar-monitoring technology to meteorological disaster- prevention services. It integrates nationwide radar observations with FORMOSAT-7 satellite data and employs data-assimilation and radar-echo extrapolation techniques to establish an early-warning system capable of predicting rainfall trends up to three hours in advance. The user interface, designed by the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR), combines location-based services and push notifications to deliver timely, convenient weather information. The latest version incorporates the Firefly smart voice assistant powered by the TAIDE large language model (LLM). Users can interact naturally in Mandarin or Taiwanese to check weather conditions and receive proactive alerts about rainfall and potential disaster risks. By combining real-time forecasts from the Central Weather Administration (CWA) with Raining Bell’s observation data, the system provides intelligent, localized, and personalized weather services. This app was developed under the guidance of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) through the joint efforts of NCDR and the National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC). The software was produced by ThinkYes Technology Co., Ltd. By integrating AI with disaster-prevention technology, Raining Bell offers a weather service that is both real-time and human-centered. This product represents experimental research results; for official weather forecasts, please refer to announcements from the Central Weather Administration.
