Summary/Abstract: The National Seismic Network of the National Institute for Research and Development in Construction, Urban Planning and Sustainable Territorial Development "URBAN-INCERC" currently represents a local competence pillar, based on complementarity and interdisciplinarity. The strong motion network of URBAN-INCERC is officially included among the infrastructures related to seismic risk reduction. Its functions extend also to support in emergency situations and to the monitoring of the territory of Romania for seismic and vibratory actions, hazardous for constructions and infrastructure. The network includes borehole stations, three of those being located in the premises of URBAN-INCERC, in Bucharest. There are also a number of instruments located in high-rise buildings, installed following the recommendation concerning the instrumentation of this type of buildings, introduced by the 2013 edition of the Romanian seismic code, P100-1/2013 (MDRAP, 2013). For the near future, the National Seismic Network of URBAN-INCERC has developed a plan for real-time transmission of the recorded seismic data, based on a protocol with the Romanian Special Telecommunication Service, protocol that will be signed in the second semester of 2015.
