Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
In San Jose, flood risk is moderate. Dagatan 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
Public transport in Dagatan consists of barangay tricycles and jeepney routes to San Jose proper. For provincial and inter-city travel, the nearest bus terminal or transport hub in San Jose's town center is the primary departure point. Residents with private vehicles have the most flexibility given the barangay road network.
