Landslides, also known as mudslides or debris flows, occur in all U.S. states and territories, and can be caused by a variety of factors including earthquakes, storms and fires. Landslides can occur quickly, often with little notice, and the best way to prepare is to stay informed about changes in and around your home that could signal that a landslide is likely to occur (http://www.ready.gov/america/beinformed/landslides.html).

Steps on how to prepare for a mudslide, according to ehow.com:

1. Evacuate as quickly as you can if your house is in the path of a mudslide. Take only what is necessary and see to your safety first.

2. Accumulate necessary supplies if you plan to stay behind. Purchase an extra supply of batteries, matches, candles and flashlights in case there is a power outage. Stock up on warm clothing, blankets, and canned food that doesn't require cooking. Keep an emergency kit with you at all times.

3. Reserve enough clean drinking water to last for a few days. Collect masks, towels and eye goggles for protection from dust inhalation.

4. Use your mobile phone only in an emergency. Buy a cordless radio to get current news if the power lines are destroyed by the mudslide. Keep the emergency phone numbers available.

5. Secure the doors and windows using blankets and thick articles of clothing. This keeps the dust and water out.

6. Go to a higher elevation if a mudslide results in a volcanic eruption. Drive away from the affected area as soon as possible. Trust your instincts and leave the premises as soon you notice any warning signs such as earthquake shocks, increasing heat waves, continuous mudslides or presence of cracks on the walls and floor of your house.

During mudslides, there’s a high chance that roads in and out of your community could be cut off for several days, if not more.  If stores haven’t been destroyed in the mudslide, their shelves can be depleted very quickly by those who aren’t prepared.
