The Santorini earthquake phenomenon is complex and predictions are not possible, said Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during an emergency meeting at the Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry on Wednesday.
“The government has trust in science,” he said during the meeting which focused on the latest seismic activity in the Aegean Sea between Santorini and Amorgos.
Mitsotakis reassured the public that authorities were closely monitoring developments, implementing necessary measures, and prioritizing transparent communication.
In this direction, he announced daily public briefings on seismic activity. “There will be daily briefings to inform and educate the public about this extremely complex phenomenon, which we have the ability to decode and explain in simple terms,” he said.
“We are prepared and hope the phenomenon is subsiding,” he said expressing cautious optimism.
Mitsotakis also appealed to islanders to remain calm and cooperate with the authorities.
“No one can make predictions, but we are more optimistic today than we were yesterday,” he said, acknowledging that experts are dealing with an “extremely perplexing phenomenon”.
The meeting was attended by Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias, President of the Earthquake Planning and Protection Organization Efthymis Lekkas, geophysics and seismology professor Costas Papazachos, and geology and geoenvironment professor Evi Nomikou.
