Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

Transport
Public transport in Carlatan consists of barangay tricycles and jeepney routes to San Fernando proper. For provincial and inter-city travel, the nearest bus terminal or transport hub in San Fernando's town center is the primary departure point. Residents with private vehicles have the most flexibility given the barangay road network.
Amenities
Community amenities in Carlatan cover the essentials: barangay health center, public elementary school, and covered court. Buyers with school-age children should verify the distance to the nearest public high school in San Fernando, as secondary education typically requires a short commute.
