500 _a Floods are major natural disasters causing extensive damage to infrastructure, the environment, and human lives. This study examines flood issues in Barangays Paitan, Vista Alegre, and Santa Rosa in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, assessing the effectiveness of current flood control measures and community preparedness. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 90 respondents, including government officials, residents, and business owners, to gauge their awareness of flood risks and preparedness. Flood control structures were also evaluated by comparing their physical condition with original design documents from the DPWH. The findings reveal that flooding is a recognized issue in all three barangays, but with varying levels of awareness and preparedness. Residents in flood-prone areas had higher awareness and preparedness compared to those in higher elevations, who had limited knowledge of flood risks and structures. The study also found that some barangays near Magat River faced significant flood risks but lacked adequate hazard awareness. Flood control structures showed minor surface damage, but more serious issues such as cracks and erosion were identified, underscoring the need for regular inspections. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing these vulnerabilities to improve flood control measures and enhance community resilience. Keywords: Floods, Community resilience, Flood control, Damage, Vulnerabilities.
