Safety in Romania

Safety in Romania covers protection from dangerous events and criminal harm. Earthquakes, floods, storms, wildfires and other disasters require warnings, preparation and coordinated emergency services, while theft, fraud, violence and abuse require prevention, reporting and support. The emergency number 112 connects people with urgent assistance.

Tip

Treat disaster readiness and crime response as two connected but different parts of your safety plan in Romania. Prepare communication and emergency steps in advance, then preserve evidence and seek the appropriate authority when an incident is not an immediate emergency.

Disasters

Disasters in Romania can include earthquakes, floods, landslides, storms, wildfires, heavy snow, and other dangerous events. Romania uses national emergency services, county inspectorates, local authorities, emergency number 112, and public alerts such as RO-ALERT. Knowing the warning signs and preparing a simple emergency plan can protect people, homes, and communities.

Crime

Crime in Romania includes theft, burglary, street robbery, fraud, online scams, violence, and abuse within families or relationships. Safety and justice involve the Romanian Police, local police, prosecutors, courts, emergency services, and support organizations. Knowing how to prevent harm, preserve evidence, and report an incident helps victims and witnesses act more safely.
