Good day Sir, Is my NU12 for Week 10 accepted? I've checked Apple Store, Android Market and Symbian, they have no applications regarding Project Noah of DOST.
Edwin T. Dueñas NU12 – Week 10
NU12 Idea: New Iphone or Android Mobile Apps for DOST's Project Noah
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) recently launched a program called "Project NOAH" which stands for Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards. This program aims to prepare the Philippines for any calamities such as floods, heavy rains, typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. There will be a series of projects line up in connection with this. Examples for typhoons and floods are the installation of Doppler radar, automated rain gauges and water level measuring stations. The department will also be releasing pertinent information in their website regarding project NOAH.
In line with this, I proposed that a developer make a mobile application for IPhone and android mobile phones and also for Symbian phones (Nokia) concerning project NOAH. Specifically, the application should provide information about flood and water levels and rain intensity by city and even by street. The application would be the same as MMDA's mobile application which monitors traffic by area and features different colors for low, medium and heavy traffic. Getting informed and updated via mobile will really help disseminate critical information to everyone. This mobile app may help avoid casualties for typhoon related incidents.4
