The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Warning and disclaimer of liability
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
A.
The degree of flood and tsunami protection required by this chapter is considered
reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on standard engineering methods of
study. Larger floods or tsunamis than the base flood as designated on the flood maps
may occur on occasions, or flood or tsunami elevations may be increased by man-made
or natural causes. This chapter does not imply that areas outside the flood hazard
area will be free from flooding or damage.
B.
This chapter must not create liability on the part of the County or any officer, official,
or employee for any flood or tsunami damages that result from reliance on this chapter
or any administrative decision lawfully made.
