The paper presents the current level in the development of an integrated system to ensure the security of the built space, with semi-automatic generation of PGA maps from seismic actions or other vibrating sources and rapid assessment of the vulnerability of instrumented/monitored buildings. The integrated and automated system is an essential step for the early detection of damage to future earthquakes. As performance benchmarks are listed: identification and acquisition of specialized software, an instrumentation campaign of public utility buildings belonging to NIRDs at national level, some case studies. The obtained results are transferable and of special technical and legal importance, the elaborated documents representing the basis for the Technical Book, and the archived data constituting initial records for the future data obtained after a major earthquake. Finding a reliable solution for a quick analysis after an earthquake, by generating a report with the dynamic parameters of the monitored buildings behaviour, is a challenge of a strategic and logistical nature, of acquisition, storage and continuous processing of data, elaboration of analytical models for validation, in context of digital approach for structural engineering.
