The use of high resolution and multi-scenario hazard maps can avoid economic or financial loss. However, due to the use of high-end technology to track hazards and produce high resolution maps, this solution entails high cost as this requires round the clock data collection, detection, and monitoring.

In order to issue an emergency alert and warning message, several levels and groups must be consulted and coordinated. It starts with calling a PDRA and inviting agencies and institutions with relevant input, to discuss the data collected and the current monitoring status then the accompanying hazards and their extent and intensities. Up until early 2017, PAGASA, MGB, and Project NOAH were all consulted during the PDRA [4]. The Core Group of the PDRA then creates a risk analysis and assessment to determine the appropriate decision and response that the national and local government units should employ. The PDRA also considers historical events and probabilistic instances to cover all possible scenarios. This will then be relayed to NDRRMC to issue the emergency alert and warning message, if needed [3]. All agencies and institutions assigned to data collection, detection, and monitoring will proceed with round the clock monitoring if needed and if the rainfall values become larger than 100mm, the NDRMMC head of the municipality or the mayor will be informed of the situation [2].

As mentioned by the Philippine Councilors League of Northern Mindanao in their resolution requesting the reconsideration of the termination of Project NOAH, the data and the platform provided by Project NOAH are easily accessible. It is utilized by the local government units to monitor in real-time the status of their area which allows them to strategize a prompt disaster response to mitigate the effects of the hazard [5] [2].

There is no direct environmental impact for this solution.
