Integrated Scenario-based
Assessments of Impacts and
Hazards (ISAIAH)
7th NDRRMC IM-TWG Meeting
Office of Civil Defense, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City
27 June 2016
What is Project NOAH?
Specifically, Project NOAH aims to provide:
• flood mitigation system, specifically targeting a 6 hour flood
early warning system for communities along 18 major river
systems;
• enhancement of geohazard maps and;
• enhancement of storm surge vulnerability maps
As per President Aquino’s directive
to put in place a responsive
program for disaster prevention &
mitigation, the Department of
Science & Technology launched
Project NOAH last July 2012 in
Marikina City.

Hazard Maps
How many people / households are in flood, landslide and
storm surge hazard areas?
Which critical facilities (schools, health facilities, evacuation
centers) may be affected by impending hazards?
How many houses made of light materials are inside of
areas covered by Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal?
How many children, senior citizens, PWDs and other at-risk
groups are needed to be evacuated in anticipation of
hydrometeorological hazards?
What are the gaps of local governments units in preparing
and responding for extreme weather events?
Let us consider these questions…

Program Title: Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazard
Project Title: Integrated Scenario-based Assessments of Impacts and Hazards (ISAIAH)
Implementing Agency: UP National Institute of Geological Sciences
Project Leader: Dr. Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay
Cooperating Agencies
1. National Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Center (NDRRMC)
2. Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG)
3. Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD)
4. Ateneo Java Wireless Competency Center
5. Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)
Objectives • To create municipal level risk assessment and incident
reporting and visualization tools
• To map exposure elements such as population, buildings and critical facilities
• To assess vulnerability to hydrometeorological hazards based on available datasets
• To evaluate the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management capacities of local government units
• To train and communicate with end-users in the use of the NOAH website and its allied tools
• To provide data and risk information required by NDRRMC during extreme weather events thru the PDRA system

Vulnerability
The characteristics and circumstances of a
community, system or asset that make it
susceptible to the damaging effects of a
hazard (UNISDR, 2007)
RA 10121 (Philippine DRRM Act of 2010)
pinpoints the source of vulnerability from:
• Physical factors
• Social factors
• Economic factors and
• Environmental factors

WebSAFE
WebSAFE allows users to
calculate the number of
population exposed to a
particular risk such as flood
hazard in question format.
For example: In the event of a
100-year flood in Quezon City,
how many people (population)
will need evacuation?
