Greece sends rescue teams to Santorini amid fears of big earthquake
Briefly

In response to over 200 seismic tremors on Santorini, Greek authorities have activated special forces and rescue teams, urging the public to take precautionary measures. These include evacuating the shoreline, closing schools, and avoiding enclosed spaces as fears rise about a possible tsunami. Experts confirmed the tremors, measuring 4 to 4.5 on the Richter scale, were tectonic in nature. The famous tourist destination, which drew 3.5 million visitors last year, is now on high alert, and rescue teams are preparing for any emergencies by setting up tents in safer locations.
Greece is often rattled by earthquakes, but the recent seismic activity, with over 200 tremors in 48 hours, signifies a dramatic increase in danger.
The civil protection ministry has advised precautionary measures, including closing schools and avoiding large gatherings, to limit the impact of a stronger earthquake.
