§ 9.184. Consumer protection.

 (a)  In many instances, development in landslide prone areas has taken place years prior to the recognition of landslide vulnerability. When landslide activity damages property, property owners usually bear the responsibility for remedial measures. Programs to assist or alleviate remedial burdens combined with advanced warning of landslide potential are necessary to protect consumers.

 (b)  It shall be the environmental policy of the Commonwealth to encourage the development of remedial assistance programs for owners of property damaged by landslides in municipalities having landslide controls and to assure the adequate disclosure of landslide potential in official plans and land transactions.
