Mudflows
A mudslide is a fluid or hardened stream or avalanche of mud.
A mudflow is capable of destroying homes, washing out roads and bridges, knocking down trees, and blocking roadways with thick deposits of mud and rocks.
A way to survive mudflows is to reinforce the foundation and walls of your home. Identify vulnerable areas of you home and add temporary shoring, bracing or shear wall supports where necessary.

Mudflow's can actually harden pretty fast after some time, thats why it has a hardened look to it. Volcano eruptions can also trigger mudslides as well. This picture up top shows what a landslide looks like after a short period of time.
