Red alert issued in nine regions due to severe storms
Published
On Monday, Greek authorities placed nine regions on the highest level of civil protection alert. The reason is severe storms that threaten widespread flooding in various parts of the country.
A red alert is the highest level of warning. It means that the danger is significant and that residents must be especially careful. Authorities advise citizens to follow official announcements and to abide by the instructions they provide.
The warning was issued shortly before a national holiday, when many people are planning trips or excursions. For this reason, authorities are asking those who can to avoid travel, particularly in areas at risk of flooding.
So far, the situation remains under monitoring. Citizens can keep informed through official sources, such as civil protection and the 112 emergency number, about the latest developments and safety instructions.
