In Azerbaijani part of the Greater Caucasus, which has been intensively developed in recent years in order to exploit recreational resources. Based on the interpretation of the ASP within the Azerbaijani part of the Greater Caucasus based on the derived from the effect of mudflow processes (the amount of material taken out, the erosive effect of the flow on the valley, the accounting of the mudflows and the basin as a whole, and the prevailing types and classes of mudflows, the geomorphological conditions of formation and passage mudflows, and statistical data on past mudflows) on the actual and possible damage affecting the population from mudflows a map-scheme was drawn up according to five-point scale. On the scale there are zones with a high (once in two-three years, one strong mudflow is possible) - V, with an average (possibility for one strong mudflow every three-five years) - IV, with a weak (every five-ten years is possible 1 strong mudflow) - III, with potential mudflow hazard - II and where no mudflow processes are observed - I. The synoptic-climatic conditions of mudflow formation have been studied, the mudflow links with macro forms of circulation over Europe and Siberia have been revealed.
