The flood prone areas within the jurisdiction of the City of Burlington 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.
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 prone
areas of uses vulnerable to floods or other hazards.
