Abstract

Summary

In 2011, the Near Real-Time System for Estimating the Seismic Damage in Romania (SeisDaRo), became operational at the National Institute for Earth Physics, Romania. This system based on the SELENA software, PAGER and ShakeMap methodologies provides, within minutes after an earthquake with magnitude ≥ 3, loss estimates in terms of affected buildings and population, at city level or even smaller. Up to now, three subsequent versions have been developed and implemented - each one being scientifically and also technically improved. 10 years apart after the first version is a good moment to document the lessons learned during SeisDaRo’s exploitation, its effective contribution to seismic risk evaluation in Romania and also its potential in the management of emergency situations. As new recent international projects such as TURNkey (with the capital city - Bucharest as testbed) or REDACt (with Constanta City as testbed) are progressing, we also present how these will contribute to improved rapid earthquake loss estimations in Romania, along with a new version of SeisDaRo that will take advantage of the new developments and research initiatives at national, European and worldwide level.
