The basis, rechecking and limitations of the calculation
- Rule or data
- The AMCCRS lists and the public Code for Romania dataset.
- When we check again
- Check again before buying and ask for the available technical assessment.
- What may vary
- Coverage is incomplete, and absence does not prove there is no risk.
Map of buildings with seismic risk in Romania
Each point is a building from an official assessment list, shown on satellite imagery so you can see the buildings. Red = red disc (RS I). Select the filters to display the other classes, select a point for details, or switch to “Map” for a simple background. Coverage: București and over 20 other counties.
What the red disc is
The red disc is the marker placed on buildings assigned to seismic risk class I (RS I) by a technical assessment under OG 20/1994. These buildings have a high risk of collapse in a major earthquake, are legally treated as a “public danger”, and have the highest priority for seismic strengthening. Most are interwar buildings in central București.
Looking for the full context (buying, mortgages, insurance, seismic strengthening)? Read the guide to the red disc.
Seismic risk classes
- RS I · High risk of collapse (red disc) - public danger, highest priority
- RS II · High risk of major structural damage
- RS III · Moderate risk - monitoring and localised strengthening
- RS IV · Low risk - routine checks
- U1-U3 · Urgency categories - detailed assessment required
Where the data come from
For București, from the official list published by AMCCRS (Administrația Municipală pentru Consolidarea Clădirilor cu Risc Seismic) under OG 20/1994. For the rest of the country (over 20 counties), we use the open dataset from the Code for Romania association (the “Bulina Roșie” project, seismicrisc.ro), compiled from official technical assessment lists. Nationwide coverage is incomplete, and a building's absence from the results does not guarantee the absence of risk.
National data source: Code for Romania – seismicrisc.ro.

Frequently asked questions
What does a red disc mean?
The red disc is the marker placed on buildings assigned to seismic risk class I (RS I) by a technical assessment under OG 20/1994. These buildings have a high risk of collapse in a major earthquake - a public danger, with the highest priority for seismic strengthening.
How do I find out whether a building has a red disc?
Enter the street (and optionally the sector) in the search above. We show you the buildings on that street from the official AMCCRS list of Primăria Municipiului București, with the risk class, year of construction and year of assessment.
What seismic risk classes are there?
RS I (high risk, red disc), RS II (high risk of damage), RS III (moderate risk) and RS IV (low risk). There are also urgency categories U1-U3 for buildings requiring a detailed assessment. A seismically strengthened building leaves its risk class.
Can I buy a flat in a red-disc building?
Yes, but with caution: RS I classification affects safety, value, insurance and access to a mortgage; the law also restricts certain uses. Before buying, ask for the risk class and assessment report, and whether there is a seismic strengthening project.
Where do the data come from and what do they cover?
For București, from the official AMCCRS list (OG 20/1994). For the rest of the country (over 20 counties, e.g. Iași, Dolj, Galați, Constanța, Bacău), from the Code for Romania open dataset (seismicrisc.ro), compiled from official technical assessments. Nationwide coverage is incomplete and is updated.
