Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Poblacion 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 Poblacion links to Barbaza's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Barbaza proper.
