The degree of flood protection provided by this title is considered reasonable and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Longer floods can and will occur on some occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural conditions. The provisions of this title do not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damage. The floodplain regulations of this title shall not create liability on the part of the city, any officer of employee thereof, the State of California, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, for any flood damages that result from reliance on these regulations or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
