First release!
This application was built to provide a quick way to find out the seismic risk category of a building in Bucharest, from its address, and other details provided by the townhall.
The current data are based on the townhall list released in 2018. In other word, this application is a simpler way to browse this list.
It is important to understand that the absence of a building on this list is in no way a garranty that this building is safe. On the contrary, it only means it was never expertised and we have no information about its safety.
While there is no such thing as 'Risk 0' The higher in the RS category, the safer the building should be.
About the 'Urgenta' system, it was in place for the 2-3 first years and replaced by the RS system in 1996.
It is not always linked to the imminent danger posed by a building, as it was made to define which building was going to be re-consolidated first, funded by state-money.
The fact that this program was then cancelled, on top of many suspicions of bribery to be the first to benefit of this state-funded program, make the Urgenta system worthless in the mind of many Romanian.
This is a myth as based on calculations most U1, U2 and U3 buildings should be regarded as high-risk 'RS 1' buildings.
Some unclear situations remains but they are exceptions to the rule.
This Application was made by Gabriel Morin with the help of Jeremy de France.
