This article considers the possibility of using GIS technology in the management of mudflow risks. It is proposed to creating a single electronic database with spatial referenced in real terrain. Among the dangerous exogenous processes occurring in the mountain and foothill regions of Kazakhstan, mudflows are among the most catastrophic on the territorial distribution, the formation frequency, the scale of the caused damage. Threatened of mudflows are plenty of settlements and cities, as well as significant areas of valuable lands and economic facilities of south-eastern and eastern Kazakhstan. The effectiveness of management measures to reducing and preventing the devastating effects of mudflows on social, techno and ecosphere of the region is highly dependent on decision making on time.To make justified and effective decisions in managing mudflows risks, modern specialist should be able to receive, collect, preserve and process data, presenting the results in the form of visual documents by via computers and communications equipment. The main objective of the creation of such databases to help less experienced users to finding existing description solutions of any problems in a subject fields.
