The Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government recognizes that although the degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations, on rare occasions greater floods can and will occur and flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. These provisions do not imply that land outside the flood plain areas or that uses permitted within such areas will be free issue from flooding or flood damages. These provisions shall not create liability on the part of the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government or the administering agency or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
