Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a framework for the improvement of the processes involving risks evaluation and management

evaluation in Central East Moldavian Region, considering the occurrence of natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, forest

fires and landslides. Consequently, a GIS application has been developed in order to graphically reflect and analyze these risks.

The studies on the targeted region would be a starting point to further extensions to other Romanian regions. The application will

be publicly available in order to provide an early warning system to people, since no such services exist in Romania at individual

level. Important aspects concerning risk management status and policies in Romania are also discussed.
