The degree of flood protection required by this 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 chapter does not imply that land outside the special flood hazard area or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This chapter does not create liability on the part of York County or by any officer or employee thereof for any flood damage that results from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision made lawfully thereunder.
