Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for Gaongan reflects Sipocot's broader situation. Properties near drainage canals, esteros, or low-lying terrain are most exposed.

Tricycles serve the barangay-level routes; jeepneys and multicabs link residents to Sipocot's commercial district, public schools, and government offices.
