The center said there were 43 mudslides, most of them located in Nantou County, where the seismic activity has made the county prone to mudflows.
According to Taiwan Power Company, the typhoon was responsible for power outages at 349,013 households. The company estimated that by midnight tonight some 9,628 households would still have no power supply.
"The resumption of power to these households may be delayed because of traffic disruption," the company said.
Most of the electricity shortages occurred in Nantou, Hualien and on Alishan (阿里山) in Chiayi County, the company said.
The disaster rescue center said there were 109 road problems -- most of which in the Nantou and Taichung areas.
Railway services along the western coast have been suspended due to damage from flash floods, but are expected to resume today.
The Hualien-Taitung line, however, is expected to remain closed for over two weeks for structural repairs to the bridges along the line.
Typhoon Toraji also caused a loss of phone communication services to over 70,887 households.
Meanwhile, because water has been contaminated by soil and mud washed down from mountain areas, some 449,325 households in Hualien, Nantou, Miaoli, Chiayi and the Taichung area remain without water.
Agricultural and livestock losses caused by the typhoon have been estimated at over NT$1.28 billion.
Around 26,078 hectares of farmland were damaged by the storm, while 6,032 pigs, 242,000 chickens, 4,000 geese, 49,000 ducks, 30 goats and 50 cattlewere reportedly killed.
After hitting Taiwan, Toraji slammed into southeast China's Fujian province, officials in China said yesterday.
Fujian television reported that nearly 3,000 people were evacuated from low-lying areas before the storm hit, and that there were no immediate reports of casualties.
