(A) The degree of flood protection sought by the provisions of this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on acceptable engineering methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by human-made or natural cause, such as ice jams and bridge openings restricted by debris. This chapter does not imply that areas outside the floodplain, or that land uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages.
(B) This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the borough or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages which result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
