The article presents one of the possible methods for elaboration of probability maps for co-seismic landslides and rockfalls in Slovenia in large scale (regional and national). The probability of their triggering was assessed by the Newmark's method. The method consists of landslide risk evaluation using stability factor and critical acceleration, while rockfall risk was assessed using an empirical equation. The results were compared with landslide risk models and data on the location of slope processes obtained from the Slovenian National Landslide Database, and of co-seismic rockfalls in the Soča Valley (Posočje) in 1988. In addition, the article describes the influence of the relief on the position of co-seismic slope processes from the perspective of their increased density on mountain ridges. We also describe the main consequences of slope processes, such as their contribution to sediment deposition in water courses and the possibility of their impoundment.

Many countries around the world are facing increasing impacts of natural disasters. This is mostly attributed to climate change, with increasing intensity of meteorological and hydro-geomorphological natural hazards. But is really the climate change responsible for the increased damage and low resilience, or should we look elsewhere? On the case of Slovenia we show that social irresponsibility, e.g. inadequate spatial planning, lack of supervision, insufficient insurance policy and mix of politics and capital influences are factors more responsible for "catastrophic" consequences of natural disasters than climate change.
