This paper employs a three-element model to examine how the disaster rescue system of the government of Nantou County in Middle Taiwan functioned following the earthquake of 21 September 1999. The three elements are information gathering, local government mobilisation, and inter-organisational cooperation. The paper finds that the Nantou County government needs to address many problems associated with these three elements. Disaster information, for example, was not processed instantly because of the destruction of the electricity and telephone systems in the earthquake. Insufficient information caused ineffectiveness in the realms of mobilisation and inter-organisational cooperation. As for mobilisation, while the Nantou County magistrate successfully used specific information to encourage flows of huge resources in the county, he did not successfully mobilise human resources there. With regard to inter-organisational cooperation, myriad voluntary actors and international rescue teams travelled to Nantou County, but the fire and police services experienced cooperation and coordination problems.
本文采用三要素模型，考察了台湾中南部南投县政府在 1999 年 9 月 21 日地震后的救灾系统是如何运作的。这三个要素是信息收集、地方政府动员和组织间合作。本文发现，南投县政府需要解决与这三个要素相关的许多问题。例如，由于地震破坏了电力和电话系统，灾害信息无法即时处理。动员和组织间合作方面的信息不足导致效率低下。在动员方面，尽管南投县长成功地利用特定信息鼓励了该县大量资源的流动，但他并没有成功地在该县动员人力资源。至于组织间合作，众多志愿人员和国际救援队伍前往南投县，但消防和警察部门在合作和协调方面遇到了问题。
