To jumpstart the country’s first extensive three dimensional (3D) mapping program, two aircrafts carrying state-of-the-art Light Detection and Ranging or LiDAR instruments took off last week at Clark Airbase to begin scanning the Pampanga river basin.

The development of 3D maps is part of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)’s Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards or Project NOAH, the country’s flagship program in disaster mitigation. Particularly, it is a component of Project NOAH’s Disaster Risk and Exposure Assessment for Mitigation or DREAM Program.
