Warning and disclaimer of liability

The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scientific data provided by FEMA and/or by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Larger floods may occur or flood heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that areas outside of the SFHA's or that land uses permitted in SHFA's will be free from flooding or flood damage. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the city, FEMA or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that may result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
