A. The flood hazard areas of the city of Drumright are subject to periodic inundation, which results in loss of life and property, presents health and safety hazards, disrupts commerce and governmental services, and requires extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
B. These flood losses are created by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains which cause an increase in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy of flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods and hazardous to other lands because they are inadequately elevated, floodproofed or otherwise protected from flood damage.
