For the purposes of this part, a person dispossessed or displaced by natural disaster means any owner of land in possession or any lessee or tenant of land in possession, who has used the property for residential purposes immediately prior to the date the property was substantially destroyed by or as a result of a natural disaster or was made unfit for such purposes by or as a result of any urban redevelopment project which resulted from a natural disaster. Property shall be deemed unfit for residence purposes when so determined by the board of land and natural resources, which determination shall be final, or if any law, ordinance, or regulation of any governmental agency prohibits the construction of improvements on land in a disaster area.
