santorini island, greece - Santorini Island remains in fear as extraordinary measures are taken due to continuous earthquakes, with 6,400 quakes recorded in 11 days.

Earthquake Crisis in Santorini

Santorini Island is on high alert as a series of earthquakes continue to rock the region. Over 6,400 earthquakes have been reported in the area since January 26, with the most powerful being a 5.2 magnitude tremor that struck recently. The situation has led to the declaration of a state of emergency on the island, with approximately 13,000 people evacuating due to the risks posed by landslides caused by the quakes. Certain areas have been cordoned off due to ground movements, and special rescue teams have been dispatched to the island to handle any emergencies. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has urged citizens to cooperate with authorities as the government works to ensure the safety of residents and visitors on Santorini.

Historical Perspective

Santorini has a history of seismic activity, with the most devastating earthquake occurring in 1956, measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale and resulting in the loss of at least 53 lives. The current situation has raised concerns among experts, as the frequency and intensity of the recent earthquakes surpass the historical records of seismic events in the region. Although the duration of this earthquake swarm remains uncertain, authorities are preparing for potential further quakes up to a magnitude of 6, emphasizing the need for readiness and caution among the population.
