Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
San Francisco carries a moderate flood-risk rating that buyers should take seriously without over-weighting. Seasonal flooding affects some parts of the barangay; other parts are comparatively dry. A flood-history check at the barangay DRRMO office, combined with a physical inspection of the specific lot, is the recommended approach.
Transport
The barangay road network in San Francisco links to Dingras's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Dingras proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
