After landslide victories in elections in 2008, the ruling Kuomintang(Nationalist Party) under Ma Ying-jeou promoted closer economic thies with the booming economy of main-land China, working toward a free trade agreement. The destruction in Taiwan wreaked by Typhoon Morakot in August exposed weaknesses and doubts about Ma's leadership.
The ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet) is a repository of information concerning hazards and disasters that have happened in the region. The platform is open for public, which means that the public can submit information about any hazard and disaster to the AHA Centre. Thereafter, the AHA Centre will verify and validate any submitted information to ensure the accuracy of the data inputs. The AHA Centre can also add new information when relevant and as necessary. ADINET has been recording disaster information in the region since the AHA Centre was operational in 2012.
