(b) As a preventative measure, Chazal instituted Bedikas Chametz (checking for Chametz) on the night before the 14th of Nisan, Erev Pesach (Pesachim fr. 2a). The Rishonim argue as to whether Bedi'kas Chametz was instituted in order to prevent transgressing the prohibition of possessing Chametz on Pesach, or to prevent being tempted to eat it on Pesach.
(c) When Chametz is inaccessible, such as when it is buried under an avalanche, there is no longer a need to perform Bi'ur Chametz (Pesachim 31b).
