Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for Serrano reflects Dulag's broader situation. Properties near drainage canals, esteros, or low-lying terrain are most exposed. Buyers of upper-floor condominiums or elevated house-and-lot have significantly lower flood exposure — but should still verify that the building itself has not experienced foundation-level flooding.

Amenities
Basic community amenities in Serrano include the barangay health center, covered court, and public elementary school. For secondary education, medical care, groceries, and commercial services, residents travel to Dulag's town center or the nearest urban hub in Leyte.
