Determined to protect lives and livelihoods in a country prone to disasters such as earthquakes and floods, Romania has been making tremendous headway in strengthening its emergency preparedness and response (EP&R) system.

Romania's new Flood Risk Management Plans lay out an integrated approach to improve flood prevention and protection, as well as to strengthen capacities for flood preparedness, response, and recovery, ultimately helping the country to improve resilience.

This report explores how climate action, in line with Romania’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, interacts with the country’s growth and development path.

The IAEA together with 62 countries and international organizations came together to simulate a global response to a nuclear emergency and examine whether these arrangements are robust and fit for purpose in the event of a severe nuclear accident.

This seismic risk profile of Romania, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.

In the worst-case scenario, Romania's first responders would be among the first casualties, significantly reducing their ability to help others. Retrofitting fire stations is an important first steps in reducing risks.

Romania is a flood prone country. The overall annual expected damage due to flooding in Romania is EUR 1.7 billion affecting an average of 150.000 citizens every year.

The vision of the Strategy is to ensure Romania’s resilience to disasters through proactive, multi-sectoral, multi-hazard actions, and a whole-of-society approach.
