The University of the Philippines (UP) is requesting renewed financial support for Project NOAH in the 2027 national budget. NOAH, operated through the UP Resilience Institute, is vital for creating hazard maps used for weather event planning. These maps are essential tools for both policymakers and the general public, aiding in preparedness and mitigation efforts. The project’s continued operation relies on securing funding within the upcoming budget cycle. UP highlights NOAH as a core component of national disaster risk reduction. Without fresh funding, the capacity to develop and maintain these crucial hazard maps could be jeopardized, potentially impacting the nation’s ability to respond effectively to future weather-related disasters. The university emphasizes the ongoing importance of NOAH for national safety and resilience.
