Mudslides happen in particular after heavy rain. Not always as a result of the ground being wet. Fresh water will over time wash away the salt deposited in the mud. When this salt is wahed away, the mud becomes more liquid with vibration.

It is important with vegetation and large trees with a big rootsystem in order to stabilize soil in dangerous areas.

Cutting down of trees and removing roots can over time be a considerable factor.

When and where in the US do mudslides happen?

Mudslides can occur almost anywhere, but mostly they seem to occur in parts of the US where there is a mountainous region that has been experiencing a prolonged drought; and then suddenly, the area experiences heavy rainstorms.
