The special flood hazard areas of the City of Pickens are subject to periodic inundation
which results in loss of life, property, health and safety hazards, disruption of
commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures of flood protection
and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public
health, safety, and general welfare.
Furthermore, these flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions
in floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities, and by the occupancy
in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other lands which
are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages.
