The degree of protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on available information derived from engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur or flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that development either inside or outside of the floodplain will be free from flooding or damage. This chapter does not create liability on the part of the City of Marion or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damage that results from proper reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision made lawfully thereunder.
