Taipei may cancel Premier12 games due to typhoon threat

TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an (蔣萬安) announced on Thursday (Nov. 14) that the city will cancel the Premier12 baseball games if officials declare a suspension of work and classes. He assured residents that authorities would discuss alternative dates for the games. Chiang emphasized that once they finalize the new schedule, officials will announce the details, including ticket refund and purchase procedures.

The Taipei City Government (北市府) has warned that Typhoon  Usagi (天兔颱風) is shifting northwest and then north, with its closest approach to Taiwan expected on Friday. They have assessed that the primary impact will be on the Hengchun Peninsula (恆春半島) and eastern regions, with minimal effects on Taipei. The city's disaster prevention office has urged the public to refrain from visiting mountains, beaches, and streams this weekend unless necessary, aiming to prevent injuries or accidents in these potentially hazardous areas.
