Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Placer's high flood-risk rating applies to Boyongan. This does not mean every property floods equally — some streets and elevated lots within the barangay may have a strong safety record. But buyers cannot assume safety based on the barangay name alone. Verify at the property level using PAGASA flood maps and DRRMO records.
