Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
In Aurora, flood risk is moderate. Mahayahay shares this profile: during a strong typhoon, localized flooding may occur in low-lying parts of the barangay, but most streets remain passable. The property's elevation relative to the nearest estero or drainage canal is the key site-level factor.
Transport

The nearest jeepney or multicab terminal provides onward connections to Aurora center, adjacent municipalities, and provincial transport routes.

Growth Potential
