The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Azerbaijan has commenced repair, restoration, and construction activities in the Khachmaz, Qusar, Shabran, Siyezan, Quba, and Khizi regions to eliminate the consequences of damage caused by heavy rains and subsequent flooding.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, these measures are part of a comprehensive action plan approved by a decree signed by President Ilham Aliyev. The decree outlines the list of works to be undertaken to mitigate the impact of natural disasters in Baku and various regions across Azerbaijan.
In the Khachmaz region, the project includes the reconstruction of private residential houses at Koroglu Street 18 and Y. Shabanov Street 9 in the city of Khachmaz, as well as in the villages of Lejet, Jighatay, Tel, Uzunoba, Istisu settlement, Khudat city, Yalama, Khanoba, and Khuray. Similarly, new private houses will be built in the Ashaghi Leger, Eniq, and Qukhuroba villages of the Qusar region.
In the Shabran region, construction will take place on M.A. Rasulzade Street in the city of Shabran, and in the villages of Khirdaoymaq, Borbor, Surra, Sohbatli, and Cholqushchu. In Siyezan, reconstruction is slated for Seyfaddin Daghli Street 64, Khatai Street 86, and Fuzuli Street 15, as well as in the Balaja Hamya village.
The Quba region will see reconstruction at H. Huseynov Street 19 in the city of Quba, and in the villages of Tuler, Kelebagh, Vladimirovka, Kunkhirt, Raziyeler, Susay, Garachay settlement, Qalaykhudat, Khaspolad, Ispik, and Genjler settlement.

Azerbaijan's northern and northwestern regions are frequently susceptible to seasonal flooding and mudslides due to the mountainous terrain and intense precipitation. The government of Azerbaijan regularly allocates funds from the state budget and the President's Reserve Fund to ensure the rapid restoration of infrastructure and residential properties affected by such natural phenomena, prioritizing the safety and social welfare of the local population.
