Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
Kauswagan's high flood-risk designation means property-level due diligence is non-negotiable. Elevation within the barangay matters significantly — a lot that is even half a meter higher than its neighbor can be meaningfully safer. Buyers should inspect the finished floor level of target properties and any flood barriers installed by the barangay or developer.
Transport

The nearest jeepney or multicab terminal provides onward connections to Loreto center, adjacent municipalities, and provincial transport routes. For commuters without private vehicles, proximity to the nearest jeepney stop is a critical property selection factor.
