objective 1

To achieve the first objective, the team performed archival research and interviewed experts from each country. The team then compared preparedness measures taken in Bucharest to other vulnerable cities and compiled the results of these interviews into a chart depicting the use and efficacy of each preparedness measure.

To achieve the second objective, the team compiled the types of infrastructure and demographics that seismologists and engineers in the Balkan Peninsula identified to be at risk from the same interviews the team compiled for the first objective. The team also spoke with community and NGO leaders to identify societal components at risk in Bucharest.

objective 2

To achieve the third objective, the team extracted data regarding socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and religion from the most recent (2011) census data available in Bucharest. The team organized and graphed the extracted data using a software tool the team created. However, the data that the team collected was insufficient for the team to support most of the correlations. The most recent census data was collected in 2011, which may no longer be representative of Bucharest. Furthermore, data regarding ethnicity and religion was incomplete, with many residents answering as unknown.
