Another 4.4 Richter earthquake in Amorgos, Santorini streets with police tape, authorities concerned about home thefts

The continuous earthquakes in the Aegean region have caused significant concerns, especially on the Greek islands, where seismic tremors have intensified in recent hours. A new earthquake with a magnitude of 4 on the Richter scale struck the island of Amorgos on Wednesday morning, creating uncertainty among the local residents and authorities. This is one of many earthquakes registered in this area recently, raising major concerns about the continuation of seismic activity and the risks it poses to public safety.

In response to the situation, Greek authorities have taken drastic measures to protect people’s lives and prevent more severe consequences. Several narrow streets on the island of Amorgos have been closed off with police tape, halting traffic and reducing the possibility of accidents due to the potential risk of landslides, which are still present and dangerous for pedestrians and local residents. The landslides, caused by seismic activity, represent another serious threat that could lead to further damage, requiring additional measures to keep people away from the most hazardous areas.

Meanwhile, Santorini, another island in the Aegean, is on high alert. Local authorities are particularly concerned about the possibility of thefts, as around 11,000 residents have abandoned their homes due to fears of further seismic tremors. This situation has created a great opportunity for unauthorized individuals to take advantage of the situation and commit thefts, especially since many homes have been left locked and unmonitored. For this reason, police forces have been put on high alert, and intensive patrols are monitoring the most affected areas to prevent any criminal activities exploiting the insecurity caused by the earthquake.

Moreover, roadblocks and strict controls have been set up to maintain order and the safety of citizens. These measures are essential to keep the situation under control and prevent any tensions that may arise due to citizens’ concerns about the safety of their property.

Currently, authorities are carefully monitoring the events and are fully prepared to intervene at any moment in order to maintain control of the situation and minimize any damage that might be caused by the ongoing seismic activity.
