All fabs and workers were evacuated, with only minor damage and injuries reported across the island.
The epicenter was located in a sparsely populated mountainous area, thereby limiting the damage to buildings and a small number of personal injuries. Despite that, Tainan experienced it as a magnitude 5 earthquake, prompting TSMC to halt production and evacuate its workers in affected sites in Central and Southern Taiwan. If a major catastrophe were to hit Taiwan and disrupt production for several weeks, it could have a domino effect across the global supply chain for electronic devices, affecting everything from smartphones and laptops to cars and solar cells.
