The Legislature of the State of Washington has delegated the responsibility to local communities to adopt floodplain management regulations designed to promote the public health,safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. The flood hazard areas of Everett are subject to periodic inundation,which may result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services,extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base,all of which adversely affect the public health, safety,and general welfare. These flood losses may be caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards that increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored,damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed,elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health,safety, and general welfare; reduce the annual cost of flood insurance;and minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to protect human life and health; minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; minimize prolonged business interruptions; minimize damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains;electric,telephone,and sewer lines;and streets and bridges located in flood hazard areas; help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood hazard areas so as to minimize blight areas caused by flooding;notify potential buyers that the property is in a Special Flood Hazard 9
