Due to global warming and environmental change, disastrous natural events have increased in scale and impact, e.g., Typhoon Morakot, in 2009 and 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan. Hazard management is becoming increasingly important, making it a necessity to manage risk and fully understand critical scenarios. For example, the National Infrastructure Protection Plan of the United States emphasizes on lessons learned from past disasters. In this chapter, several selected cases of accidents caused by man-made geohazards in Taiwan are studied. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) have identified technological or man-made hazards as events that are caused by humans and occur in or close to human settlements. These can include environmental degradation, pollution, and accidents (such as industrial and transport incidents). Accidents due to man-made hazards usually take place suddenly and give very limited time for response for rescue and recovery of function of facilities. Transportation facilities are a typical case. In this chapter, three hazard case studies are considered: a highway in southern Taiwan, a freeway in northern Taiwan, and an airport runway in the Taoyuan International Airport. The causes and the impacts of the incidents are described. These provide valuable lessons for managing this type of man-made hazard.
