More than 3 years after its creation, the Department of Science and Technology's Project Noah, the country’s leading program for disaster prevention and mitigation, introduces its new and improved website reports the Rappler.
The improved website has a new look, allows more features on the platform, and is more user-friendly. Local government units can better approximate and plan. Project Noah also introduced the newest version of its mobile app, Arko. In an instant, the app can generate flood hazard maps within a 2.5-kilometer radius from one's location. It now has storm surge and landslide hazard maps too. Earlier this year, Arko won the World Summit Awards for Mobile Inclusion and Empowerment.
