§ 14-3.7. Warning and disclaimer or liability.

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 man-made or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that land outside of areas designated as special flood hazard areas or local flood hazard areas or uses allowed within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the Parish of Jefferson, any officer or employee thereof, for any damages or injuries that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
