Information Technology (GIS, Remote Sensing, satellite communication, etc.) can help a in planning and implementation of hazards reduction measures.

This paper addresses some key aspects regarding integrated use of radar, optical, GPS data over Vrancea seismic area in Romania in order to assess active tectonic of this region. Classifications of different geologic features and Digital Elevation Models (DEM) generation from SAR ERS1/2, Landsat TM, ETM and ASTER data are highly correlated with in-situ ground data. GPS Romanian network stations data revealed a crustal displacement of about 5 or 6 mm/year in horizontal direction relative motion, and a few millimeter/year in vertical direction.
