The Philippines Department of Science and Technology is the executive department of the Philippine Government responsible for the coordination of science and technology-related projects in the Philippines and to formulate policies and projects in the fields of science and technology in support of national development.

As you asking I am telling Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) is the Philippines primary disaster risk reduction and management program. It was initially administered by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) from 2012 to 2017, but is now managed by the University of the Philippines.

The program involves seven major components described as follows:

Distribution of Hydrometeorological Devices in hard-hit areas in the Philippines (Hydromet) the installation of automated rain gauges and water level monitoring stations in major river basins and flood-prone areas.

Disaster Risk Exposure Assessment for Mitigation Light Detection and Ranging (DREAM-LIDAR) Project the development of accurate three-dimensional flood inundation and hazard maps for the country’s flood-prone areas.

Enhancing Geohazards Mapping through LIDAR– the use of LIDAR technology and computer-assisted analyses to identify landslide-prone areas.

Coastal Hazards and Storm Surge Assessment and Mitigation (CHASSAM) to generate wave surge, wave refraction, and coastal circulation models to understand and recommend solutions for coastal erosion.

Flood Information Network (FloodNET) Project the building of a flood center to provide timely and accurate information for flood forecasts.

Local Development of Doppler Radar Systems (LaDDeRS) to develop local capacity to operate Doppler weather radar systems.

Landslide Sensors Development Project a low-cost, locally developed, sensor-based early monitoring and warning system for landslides, slope failures, and debris flow.

Weather Hazard Information Project (WHIP) the use of television and a web portal to display real-time weather data to help local governments and communities to prepare against natural hazards.
