Flood Risk
Flood Risk Varies
Flood risk in Dibarosan cannot be generalized across the barangay — it varies significantly depending on the specific lot's elevation, proximity to drainage canals, and local terrain. A property-level investigation using NAMRIA flood maps and DRRMO records is essential before any purchase commitment.
