The improved website has a new look, allows more features on the platform, and is more user-friendly. Local government units can better approximate and plan. Project Noah also introduced the newest version of its mobile app, Arko. In an instant, the app can generate flood hazard maps within a 2.5-kilometer radius from one's location.
