MANILA, Philippines — After the Philippines was hit by a series of disasters at the peak of Christmas preparations, what happened to the disaster reduction project called NOAH (Nationwide Operation Assessment of Hazards)? Sought for comment, NDRRMC spokesperson Mina Marasigan said she was “not aware of such offer” from Project NOAH. The Project NOAH used to be the Philippines' primary disaster risk reduction and management program. It was initially administered by the Department of Science and Technology from 2012 until January 2017, when Project NOAH was downsized and is now managed by UP.
