Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called people on the island of Santorini to “remain calm” after increasing seismic activity.
His remarks come as Monday, and the authorities have imprisoned on Monday, and the authorities advised themselves against large arrangements indoors through the island, a popular tourist destination known for its churches that dripped.
More than 280 earthquakes were recorded through Greek islands over the past 48 hours, the University of Athens’s Seismological Laboratory is stated.
Shivers up to 4.9 in size They were recorded northeast of Santorini on Monday, while in the last few days, 4.3 and 3.9 Magnitudes reported.
Speaking from EU conversations in Brussels, the Prime Minister is working to manage “Very Intense Geological Phenomena”, adding that he asked the authorities to provide a “comprehensive presentation” of geological data to ensure that everyone knows that everyone knows this seismic event .
Mitsotakis remarks come as many people in Santorini on Sunday outdoors, in the middle of fear of potential damage to buildings during the earthquake.
Some foci tremors were recorded at a depth of only 2km (1.2 miles) below the surface.
Some residents chose to leave the island, while seismic activity is in progress, including Kostas Sakavaras, a tourist guide that lived there for 18 years, and his wife and children.
“We decided yesterday that we would take a ferry and reach the mainland,” he said for the BBC News.
“We’re still calm. It’s not that big thing. It was more like schools were closed. We considered that the better choice was to come to the land as a precaution.”
He said they held contact with friends and family that remained and that they were shivering “mild”.
“Nothing fell, nor nothing like that,” he said, adding that the worst part was sound.
“It’s the scariest part of that,” Mr. Sakavaras said, who planned to return home after school opening.
Santorini is known as Helen’s volcanic bow – the chain of volcanic islands created by Tachtonica plate – but the last main eruption was in the 1950s.
Greek authorities were said that the recent smaller countries were associated with the movements of tectonic plates instead of volcanic activity.
Tremori cause an Aegean seaboard that is removed below the African board, causing resistance and friction to build along the error line.
When the plate changes, energy is released in the form of an earthquake.
Earthquakes are very common in this region, but the authorities say that the activity in Santorini Caldera – Vulcan’s island is sitting – it remains in the fall.
While the recent flashes is considered unlikely to be a precursor volcanic eruption, the possibility cannot be turned off.
Tremori recorded by geologists are considered minor, but the authorities added a number of preventive measures next to school shutteres, including shipping setting to avoid Ammoudi and Fira ports.
Great cruise ships often anchor near the old port of Fira, and passengers were brought on the shore on smaller ships.
The schools were also told to imprison on the nearby islands of Anafi, IOS and Amorgos and will remain until 7. February.
On Monday, the message from the emergency services sent to Santorini residents, who collapsed them to leave the areas of Ammoudia, Armenia and the old port of Fira due to landslides.
According to the European Mediterranean Seismological Center, a total of more than 555 earthquakes recorded from 28. January in the area between Amorgos and Santorini.
Kostas Papazachos, Professor of Geophysics at the University of Thessaloniki Aristotelle, said the Public Broadcase of ERT that precautions “precisely limit the impact of the stronger earthquake”, because the earthquakes cannot be predicted.
He added, “When you have a string next to yourself, it’s so vivid, so intense, you have to be a little careful, right because there is always a risk of something like that.”
Earthquakes are measured at the time of magnitude scale (MW) – instead of a better known Richter scale, which is now considered less accurate. The number attributed to the earthquake represents a combination of the distance lines is moved and the force that has moved.
Tremor 2.5 or less usually cannot be felt, but can be detected by instruments. They feel earthquakes up to five and cause minor damage.
Prof.Prof said that they were a smaller earthquake that appeared as people gathered in large crowds, could create a panic that can lead to injured people.
The Southern Regional Fire Brigade Department was placed in general warnings and rescue teams as well as the Regional Commander sent to Santorini.
Different airlines added additional flights, because people were in a hurry to leave the island, and more ferry was distributed. Hotel owners are applying a series of cancellations in their reservations, as tourists avoid the island.
Although the island has about 15,500 inhabitants, it welcomes millions of tourists every year.
