Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
In San Juan, flood risk is moderate. Pandayan 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.

The barangay road network in Pandayan links to San Juan's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths.
