Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
In Valencia, flood risk is moderate. Botong 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.
