Project Noah and apps very relevant at this time

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship
                                         


Ed Duenas, a fmr sentrep student suggested an apps that is tied or used in conjunction with NOAH, (National OPerational Assessment of Hazard (and) Risk.  The apps could be accessible to smartphone users.   Inputs like weather, flooding, surge, landslide would come from DOST;  the apps would be platform,  Sun and Globe would be telco.

I suggested/forwarded the suggestion to a an apps developer who has successfully partnered with foreign investors on apps.  He however countered, that the NOAH apps would start from the basement - an entirely new project.

Since the apps could be location (GPS based) any area in the PHL without need of sensors could be made accessible to Smartphone users.  It could be Android based (or Symbian?)

He texted me today that it should have been done yesterday.  But today, the stranding and flooding has wrecked havoc all ready.  Let us do it now.
