The number of earthquakes recorded this weekend on the Greek island of Santorini has been considered reason to declare an emergency. The 200 earthquakes that occurred within a few days have forced local authorities to take safety measures.
So far, the closure of schools has been requested throughout the island, but also on surrounding islands.
Precautionary measures were also ordered on several nearby Aegean islands, all popular summer holiday destinations, after more than 200 underwater earthquakes were recorded in the area over the past three days.
“These measures are precautionary and authorities will remain vigilant. We call on citizens to strictly adhere to safety recommendations to minimize the risk,” Civil Protection Minister Vasilis Kikilias said late Sunday after an emergency government meeting in Athens.
In Santorini, residents and visitors were advised to avoid large indoor gatherings and areas where rockslides could occur, while hotels were instructed to drain swimming pools to reduce potential damage to buildings from an earthquake./ CNA
