Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Flood risk in Bulawan is moderate, consistent with San Miguel's overall profile. Parts of the barangay may accumulate water during strong rainfall, but full inundation is not the norm.

The barangay road network in Bulawan links to San Miguel's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to San Miguel proper.
