| Introduction |
|
Welcome to the Department of Land Conservation and Development's (DLCD) Landslide Hazards website.
This site provides information on landslide hazards to a variety of users, from elected officials to local government staff to members of the general public. Our goal is to increase awareness of landslide hazards and the damaging impacts they can have on people and property. The site describes the various approaches that can be taken to reduce the landslide risk and includes examples of regulations that can apply to development in areas potentially subject to landslides.
