The degree of flood protection required by this title is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on engineering and scientific methods of study. Larger floods may occur on rare occasions or the flood height may be increased by manmade or natural causes. This title does not imply that development either inside or outside of floodplain areas will be free from flooding or flood damage. This title does not create liability on the part of the city or any officer or employee thereof, or the federal emergency management agency, for any flood damage that may result from reliance on this title or any administrative decision made lawfully thereunder.
