On March 4, 1977, Romania was rocked by one of the most devastating earthquakes in its recent history, which left behind over 1,500 dead, around 11,000 injured and over 35,000 destroyed buildings. This date entered the consciousness of Romanians and brings back to attention a well-known reality: Romania is a country with a high seismic risk, and preparation can make the difference, according to the information sent by Groupama representatives. Experts emphasize that preparing for an earthquake is not an individual action, but a family project. Each member should know: where he shelters in the house; how to close the gas and electricity; what is the meeting place after the earthquake; who to contact in case of emergency.
