Mudslides can happen anywhere in which there are soil slopes that are saturated with water. They tend to be more likely to occur in steeper slopes that have been deforested or where vegetation is sparse as this allows rainfall to enter the soil more rapidly and also reduces evapo-transpiration losses (so the soil is wetter than it would otherwise be which reduces it's effective strength due to increases in pore water pressure).
