Abstract In this paper some results are presented of the researches performed in two main directions: (1) the geologic hazard assessment in the extra-Carpathian territory and (2) the estimation of the degree of exposure of the population to this hazard. For the evaluation of the geologic hazard, data regarding the seismic history of the extra-Carpathian territory (only the intermediate depth Vrancea earthquakes were analyzed) and the recent geodynamical processes which can be triggered or amplified by seismic vibrations, were used. These data published in two previous papers, have been reevaluated and are present in a unitary form, allowing for the separation into zones with different degrees of geological hazard in the analyzed territory. The data regarding the number, space distribution, and density of the population has made it possible to estimate the number of people living in each zone.
