Flood Risk

High flood risk in Polangui is a serious consideration for buyers in Apad. During typhoon season, significant flooding can occur. Key questions to ask before buying: Which months does this street flood? What is the average water depth? Has interior flooding ever occurred? How long does water typically take to recede?
Transport
