The flood hazard areas of the Town of Dyer are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. Additionally, structures that are inadequately elevated floodproofed, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. To minimize the threat of such damages and to achieve the purposes hereinafter set forth, these regulations are adopted.
