‐ Risk Assessment: State of Maturity. In the Romanian sector of the Danube floodplain, substantial progress has been made with developing hazard and flood risk maps under the Project Danube FLOODRISK, started after the historic floods in 2006 and finalized in 2012. Currently, MECC coordinates the development of hazard maps in each river basin, funded by European funds the SOP ‐ Priority 5. Hazard maps on floods are currently 80% complete. However, work on other risks is at an early stage of development. However, a National Working Group for Risk Assessment (GLERN) is to be established, consisting of experts in risk assessment from central authorities and independent experts from the academic and private sectors. GLERN will have responsibility for coordinating government efforts in risk assessment, analysing and integrating the results, preparing and submitting of periodic reports on risk reduction measures identified to PNNRD and on the progress of Romania made in this field to the European Commission.
