The researcher used the descriptive research in the study. Survey questionnaire was the main instrument used in gathering the data. Total enumeration was employed with a total of 135 lowland rice farmers in Baras served as respondents. Field survey was done to get the coordinates of the farm area boundaries. Interviews was done in determining the duration of flooding in the farm areas. Using proxy indicators, the social vulnerability of lowland rice farmers in Baras to flood was determined. The variables used to determine the indices of the different members of rice farmer associations operating in the part of Baras lowland were demographic, socio-economic, natural resource dependence, and strength of public infrastructure. The computed overall social vulnerability indicated that Mambog has the highest index of 4.132, the area most vulnerable to flood among all farmers' association operated by lowland rice farmers. Torondon rice farmers has the lowest overall index of 2.332, the least vulnerable area among all the others. Majority of the farmers' associations has low demographic, socio-economic and resource dependence capacities. The factors that contributed mostly to the low capacities of the farmers' associations are age, educational attainment, number of dependents, trainings and assistance for the demographic index. Income, land tenure, farmers with vehicle and number of family with permanent job are the factors that contributed to their low socio-economic capacities. The number of natural resources found in the area and farmers who depend on farming are the indicators that have significantly higher values for resource dependence. Interventions such as provision of credit, trainings/seminars, assistance and improvement of canals can contribute significantly to their resilience to flood and other related stressors.
