Abstract: Geoinformation systems (GIS) have entered all spheres of modern life. Processing large volumes of information of any type without them today is simply impossible. GIS, which have received the widest application in the world today, are designed to collect, store, analyze and visualize georeferenced objects, as well as related attributive information. In the summer of 2020, in the basin of the river Samur, we carried out geoecological field monitoring of hazardous natural processes using technical means (GPS - navigator, range finder, etc.). According to monitoring data, using GIS technologies, digital cartographic visualization of monitoring results was carried out, as well as clarification and addition of mudflow characteristics in the Mudflow Hazard Cadastre of the South of the European part of Russia.

Keywords: monitoring, national economic objects, hazardous natural processes, mudflow, mudflow deposits, landslide area.
