Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Flood risk in Barasan is moderate, consistent with Leon's overall profile. Parts of the barangay may accumulate water during strong rainfall, but full inundation is not the norm. Buyers should ask neighbors about their street's specific flood history and verify the property's elevation relative to nearby drainage canals.
Transport
The barangay road network in Barasan links to Leon's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Leon proper.
