This chapter does not imply that areas outside the floodplain districts or land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood damages. Not all flood risk is mapped. Larger floods do occur and the flood height may be increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams or bridge openings restricted by debris. This chapter does not create liability on the part of the city or its officers or employees for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
