Greek authorities have announced an extension of school closures on the islands of Santorini, Ios, Anafi, and Amorgos until February 14 due to recent seismic activity in the region. This decision was made by a committee of officials and experts as a precautionary measure following initial closures that began on February 3.
In addition to the school closures, authorities have canceled all public events and advised residents to avoid gathering in enclosed spaces to mitigate the risks associated with a potential major earthquake. To enhance emergency preparedness, search and rescue teams, drones, and generators have been deployed to the affected areas.
The ongoing seismic activity has raised concerns among residents and officials, prompting these safety measures to ensure the well-being of the community. As the situation develops, authorities continue to monitor the seismic activity closely and will provide updates as necessary.
