Greece builds earthquake evacuation port on Santorini

The island of Santorini continues to face earthquakes, which have begun since the end of January and have increased concerns for residents and visitors, forcing Greek authorities to take urgent measures to ensure the protection of lives and infrastructure.

The Minister of Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilias, has announced plans to build an evacuation port in Santorini, which will facilitate the movement of residents and tourists in the event of an emergency. The new port is intended to provide a safe evacuation route and will serve as a transportation hub for passengers traveling by ferry.

The construction of the evacuation port comes after warnings from authorities that there could be more strong earthquakes in the future. Minister Kikilias stressed that emergency measures will continue to be taken to ensure the safety of citizens. He also called for long-term preparation for the possibility of continued earthquakes in the coming months.

The risk of continued earthquakes remains a serious concern, and Greek authorities have stressed that they will work intensively to improve infrastructure and provide support for the island's residents. For this reason, a full evacuation plan will provide greater protection for those living and visiting Santorini.

Safety measures and warnings are focused on avoiding tragedies and providing opportunities for safe transportation in case of emergencies. (A2 Televizion)
