花蓮縣合歡山地區地受地震影響相對園區其他地區較為輕微，經太魯閣國家公園管理處派員檢視評估後，4月12日優先開放合歡山區步道（合歡山主峰、小奇萊、合歡西北峰步道）及小風口、大禹嶺等遊憩據點。

4月16日開放奇萊山區（不含奇萊東稜）、南湖山區（僅南湖主峰線）、屏風山、閂山等生態保護區之入園申請，倘遊客或山友發現步道設施災損，有安全疑慮時，請勿冒然通行，並請回報管理處派員處理。

合歡山杜鵑花季交管預計於4月13日開始實施，公路局將進行假日高乘載管制措施，惟震後餘震不斷，沿線仍有落石可能，中橫沿線多處災情亟待復建，請遊客儘量由省道臺14甲線出入園區，如遇局部災點因施工搶災施工必要時，敬請配合交維管制人員指揮。

自4月3日主震發生至4月10日，已陸續發生800次以上餘震，由觀察數據顯示雖然已漸趨緩，但仍有一定程度的安全疑慮，再加上山區道路倘有災害發生時，恐無法立即搶通或救援。本處呼籲民眾，地震發生後請勿自行進入或前往災損地區，賞花及登山之餘請務必注意自身安全。

The park’s Hehuan Mountain Rhododendron Festival is scheduled to begin on April 13. The Taiwan Highway Administration will implement high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) restrictions during the festival. However, due to the ongoing aftershocks and the risk of falling rocks, visitors are advised to enter the park via Taiwan Provincial Highway 14A whenever possible.

The park urges visitors to exercise caution and avoid entering damaged areas.
