## What is Arko PH?

The Philippines is hit by an average of twenty typhoons a year. Most of the time, these cause major flooding that can be a danger to one’s life and livelihood. Lives have been lost due to storm flooding because people didn’t know what path to take to safety or even if their area would be hit by a flood-causing downpour.

Arko hopes to address the need of every Filipino to more information during times of major rains and flooding. By accessing the extensive databases of Project NOAH and DOST, Arko can give the user up-to-the-minute updates on rainfall and other weather conditions near you or wherever you choose.

Features

•Flood Mapping: Using data from previous floods (like Ondoy), Arko will show you which areas are prone to flooding so you can avoid them, or designate a safe zone where evacuees can go to during floods.
•Remote Monitoring: Arko can allow you to check on how flooding and/or rainfall is in other areas. Perfect for those who worry if a family member, loved one or friend is doing fine despite the weather. 
•Weather Advisory: By connecting with Project NOAH, PAGASA and DOST's various weather monitoring facilities, Arko can give you updates on the weather. It can even give you a good estimate on whether it will rain or not, based on the data it gets.

### 1/5 — Latest update unusable for storm tracking due to location auto zoom

*2015-12-15, version 2.0.0*

This app was very useful for tracking storms prior to the Dec 14, 2015 update. However, since that update the map now automatically zooms in on your current location making it impossible to see the storm track on the map. Zooming out won't help as the app automatically zooms you back into your current location in less then a second.

### 5/5 — Thumbs Up

*2015-02-01*

Nice app indeed

### 2/5 — Needs further improvement

*2014-07-16, version 1.4*

It does not show the flood map in my location. The app crashes too after getting the weather information. This app has a lot of potential though.
