This is the official iOS app version of the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (Project NOAH) website (http://noah.dost.gov.ph). The companion app to ARKO (the mobile app for flood, storm surge, and landslide hazard maps), the NOAH iOS app features a user-friendly interface that allows you to view near real time weather information, which can help prevent and mitigate disasters.

This mobile app was improved by Pointwest in cooperation with Project NOAH. Content and data come from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and its participating agencies.

Project NOAH’s mission is to undertake disaster science research and development, advance the use of cutting edge technologies and recommend innovative information services in government's disaster prevention and mitigation efforts. Though the use of science and technology and in partnership with the academe and other stakeholders, the DOST through Program NOAH is taking a multi-disciplinary approach in developing systems, tools, and other technologies that could be operationalized by government to help prevent and mitigate disasters.

Plenty of room for improvment

The app can be summed up in two letters: “OK”.

App works fine, functions fine, and performs fine. But that’s “fine”, not great. Silky smooth on my 6S, and I assume it will be for most devices, BUT it is obviously not optimized to scale with the newer iPhone form factors. The resolution is scaled to fit for the iPhone 5, 5S, SE, and lower rather than for newer iOS devices. It’s pretty obvious with the way text on the status bar within the app is a lot larger than that on the regular homescreen on the iPhone 6 and later.

To add to that, the interface is starting to look dated by 2018 standards.

Otherwise, the app is a great platform for viewing weather data and the like. My point still stands however, as the app can be improved upon greatly if given enough time and effort.

Cheers.

Data not found

Having error with checking the data for the typhoon. All of the filters are saying “data not found” But the bulletin is kudos updated. I wish the makers of this app can update the whole thing, most importantly in this situations where typhoons in our country is getting a bit intense.
