Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis recently visited the earthquake-struck island of Santorini as it grapples with intense seismic activity. During his visit, Mitsotakis inspected emergency preparedness facilities and announced a 3 million euro funding package for the construction of an emergency evacuation route in the southern part of the island.

Authorities on Santorini have implemented additional precautionary measures in response to heightened seismic activity. These measures include restricting traffic in areas prone to rockslides and deploying army trucks with electricity generators to the island. Rescuers have also been dispatched to assist in the event of emergencies.
