The degree of flood protection required by §§ 14-5-2-1 et seq. is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by manmade or natural causes. Sections 14-5-2-1 et seq. do not imply that land outside flood hazard areas or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. Sections 14-5-2-1 et seq. shall not create liability on the part of the city or on any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on §§ 14-5-2-1 et seq. or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
