The degree of flood protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by human-made or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted within those areas will be free from flooding or flood damage. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the County Fiscal Court, the state, the FIA, FEMA, or any officer or employee thereof, for any flood damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
