Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Centro's moderate flood-risk rating reflects Santo Tomas's terrain and drainage infrastructure. Not all parts of the barangay flood equally — buyers should review the NAMRIA flood hazard map for the specific property location and ask the barangay DRRMO office for local flood records.

The barangay road network in Centro links to Santo Tomas's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Santo Tomas proper.
