Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Lubas 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 Lubas links to San Andres's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths.
