In addition, for hikers, they conducted practical education and various promotional activities, including checking evacuation systems and sharing safety guidelines, monitoring for wildfires and risk factors in daily life near forested areas and providing guidance on how to respond and report, as well as taking immediate action when risk factors are discovered during forestry, farming, or other daily activities.
