Project NOAH or Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards was born in the aftermath of Typhoon “Sendong” in 2011 when former President Benigno Aquino 3rd called for “a more accurate, integrated, and responsive disaster prevention and mitigation system, especially in high-risk areas throughout the Philippines.” It was launched in July 2012 in Marikina City.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) had three ongoing DOST-funded independent projects related to disaster – ClimateX, Weather Sensors Development, and Disaster Risk and Exposure Assessment for Mitigation or DREAM. These were consolidated, and were added to three other projects – Storm Surge (under PAGASA), Landslide and WebGIS.
