In 2000, finalizing the UNESCO-IGCP Project 414 and exploiting the existing CEI Network, neo-determinsitic maps of seismic hazard (peak amplitudes of the horizontal ground motion - displacement, velocity and design ground acceleration) were published (Panza & Vaccari, 2000). Shallow seismicity has been considered as a rule, limiting the computations to epicentral distances ≤ 90 km. The hypocentral depth considered is 10 km for events with magnitude Mw<7 and 15 km for larger events. For the Vrancea intermediate-depth events spectral properties especially determined for the Romanian these earthquakes have been considered and the computations have been performed over the Romanian, Northeastern Croatian and Hungarian territory, within a circle of 350 km of radius centered on Vrancea. The hypocentral depths considered are 90 km for M< 7.4 and 150 km for larger quakes.
