On September 28, In Sulawesi Indonesia, there was a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and a tsunami. Casualties are heavy. The Taiwan Red Cross has sent a letter to the Indonesian Red Cross to express condolences, and immediately reviewed the disaster relief materials of the local disaster preparedness centers.

The Taiwan Red Cross is preparing to send important materials such as 300 tents and 2,000 sleeping bags, sleeping mats, and quilts. So the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will prepare these materials to be sent all together, due to the high cost of air cargo. The association expects the government to uphold the spirit of "humanitarian priority" and coordinate the integration of domestic NGOs as was the model for Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, and the earthquake in Nepal in 2015, to jointly deliver relief supplies for a strong mutual earthquake emergency relief operation.
