ABSTRACT: The intensity of disasters is on an upward trend and inhabited areas are expanding into various risk areas, threatened by natural, technological or complex multi-hazards. The present study focuses on the analysis of Seveso-type economic operators whose activity is regulated by Law 59/2016 on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances. In Romania, the natural hazards that can trigger technological accidents in these sites are largely represented by earthquakes and floods. The analysis presented in this study was performed for a recurrence period of 475 years for earthquakes and 500 years for floods. The results of the analysis highlighted the sites in Romania that present specific Natech risks. Also, the possible technological accidents that may occur as a result of the manifestation of natural hazards have been identified for each site while a more detailed analysis was performed for the selected processes based on qualitative criteria. Finally, a ranking of these sites for Natech risks is presented considering the two natural hazards.

Key words: Natech, Seveso, earthquake, flood
