Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

A flood-history check at the barangay DRRMO office, combined with a physical inspection of the specific lot, is the recommended approach.
Transport
Sum-ag residents use tricycles for intra-barangay movement and jeepney or UV Express vans to reach Bacolod's commercial and employment centers. Road access from the barangay to Bacolod's main arterial road is the key infrastructure factor for buyers evaluating daily commute viability.
