It is recognized that the degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. However, on occasion, greater floods than the base flood will occur and will result in greater flood heights and flood damage. Furthermore, flood heights may be increased by other man-made or natural causes. These provisions do not imply that land outside the floodplain or flood-prone areas or that uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. These provisions shall not create liability on the part of the City of Danville nor any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
