<br />Colorado Landslide Hazard <br /> <br /> <br />and use, or in communities where land optimally <br />suited for development is in short supply, there is <br />strong motivation to develop the land extensively. <br />Land use regulations must be balanced against eco- <br />nomic considerations, political pressures, a~d his- <br />torical rights. However, if construction is allowed to <br />occur in a hazardous area, there is a moral and legal <br />obligation to disclose the hazard to future owners <br />and occupants. <br /> <br />The Colorado Landslide Problem <br /> <br />Vulnerable Communities, Areas, and <br />Facilities in Colorado <br /> <br />The map below indicates areas in the state where <br /> <br />MUFrAT <br /> <br />Hie 6lA.NCO <br /> <br />1S <br />22 <br /> <br />.~~RF'L,-O <br />03 <br /> <br />035 <br />MESA <br /> <br />AL.AMOSA <br /> <br />-::()r>J~.JCS <br /> <br />Landslide Problem Areas in Colorado <br /> <br />landslides have the most serious, or potentially seri- <br />ous, impacts on communities, transportation corri- <br />dors, lifelines, or the economy (see Colorado <br />Landslide Hazard Mitigation Plan for details). <br /> <br />Landslide Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />Implementation Program <br /> <br />Fundamental to a mitigation program is the estab. <br />lishment of a system for landslide mitigation man- <br />agement at the state and local government levels. A <br />permanent state system can effect mitigation pro- <br />jects which are needed but cannot be accomplished <br />locally.
