Fig. 1. Seismic hazard assessment for Romania. (a) Neodeterministic seismic hazard assessment (NDSHA) method [Radulian et al., 2000]; (b) Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) project [Giardini et al., 2014]. Colored regions represent shaking intensities calculated using each method. Color-coded symbols indicate observed shaking intensities. The large star marks the shock epicenter of the 1940 M7.7 earthquake in Vrancea, and smaller stars are epicenters of violent shocks in the Fagaras zone in 1550, 1571, and 1590. The intensity IX area of the SHARE map is outlined on top of the observed shaking.
