Greece Braces for a Stronger Earthquake After Days of Tremors
The Greek island of Santorini has been shaken by a series of earthquakes that have continued for four consecutive days. Seismologists report that over 200 tremors have been recorded, with some being strongly felt in the northern parts of the island.
What Measures Are Being Taken?
Greek authorities are considering emergency evacuations in case of a stronger earthquake. Rescue teams have been dispatched to the island, and local services remain on high alert.
Residents have been advised to:
- Close schools until the seismic situation stabilizes.
- Avoid large indoor gatherings to reduce the risk of structural collapses.
- Drain swimming pools to prevent potential damage.
How High Is the Risk of a Major Earthquake?
Santorini lies in a volcanically active zone in the Aegean Sea, making it prone to seismic activity. Experts warn that the ongoing tremors could be a precursor to a more powerful earthquake.
Seismologists are closely monitoring the situation, though they cannot yet determine whether a major disaster is imminent.
What’s Next?
Greek authorities continue to assess the situation and may implement stricter safety measures and urgent evacuations if the tremors persist.
Residents and tourists are urged to stay informed through official updates and follow precautionary guidelines.
