Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
In Liloan, flood risk is moderate. Catarman shares this profile: during a strong typhoon, localized flooding may occur in low-lying parts of the barangay, but most streets remain passable. The property's elevation relative to the nearest estero or drainage canal is the key site-level factor.
Transport
Road connectivity in Catarman follows Liloan's general network. The nearest jeepney or multicab terminal provides onward connections to Liloan center, adjacent municipalities, and provincial transport routes. For commuters without private vehicles, proximity to the nearest jeepney stop is a critical property selection factor.
