The degree of flood protection required by this section of the chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering consideration. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This section of the chapter does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazard or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damage. This section of the chapter shall not create liability on the part of the Local Floodplain Administrator or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on these regulations or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder.
