Strategically Buying A Property Away From Flood Prone Areas

After typhoon Ondoy hit most part of Metro Manila which used to be not prone to floods. I was thankful for having a property located away from them and now is thinking very well to buy a new place that is away from flood prone areas too.

Not every home in this country have flood insurance, who would have thought of such a flood to come here anyway! It was a traumatic and devastating experience I sure don't want to encounter ever.

Seeing what the victims of the typhoon went through, the lost properties, memories and everything they have all wiped out by a very destructive flood.

If it was not for the less civilized neighbors we have I will not think of moving out. There are a lot of nice improvements in the nearby areas, big shopping mall giants are putting up their malls in here. New residential villages are sprouting like mushrooms.

I went to inspect on some but I didn't like the noise and air pollution, its too much!

Does anyone know where is the best place to buy a property here in Metro Manila, away from the flood and earthquake prone areas and are less congested and polluted like the rest? I also prefer not passing through any toll gate because that's an unnecessary expense I don't want to incur.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
