The scenario for an earthquake of 6 degrees in the Santorini region is “accidentally” removed “not by accident” according to the Natural Disaster Professor and President of OASP, Efthimios Lekkas, in an interview with the first program 91.6 and 105.8 and the “Morning” program.

“It is moving away because, every day we had thousands of earthquakes, we have to realize this, that is, there was a day we had over a thousand earthquakes. And of course when you have such a great seismicity, even when the sizes are small, the area empties. So the 6th has already been removed, so you realize that things are much more favorable, ”Mr Lekkas said.

Work is due to begin enhancing infrastructure support, according to Mr Lekka, because some formal procedures are preceded. “I think that these work will start next week so that we can complete some of these work to Easter. Easter is a focal point where the tourist season begins, this year we have Easter Catholics together, so you understand that it has an additional interest. I think that the basics of Santorini’s operation will, however, work some other elements, which are much more difficult, will not start before Easter, but will begin after Easter because they include projects that are large projects that need a lot of preparation. These are projects that require time, they are difficult projects. And they also require a great deal of research preparation. That is to say, studies that are difficult should be preceded that will indicate exactly the dimensions of the projects and this cannot be performed within a few months. It takes at least one year. That is, these projects will definitely be projects that will work since time, “Mr Lekkas said.

We go to a more favorable scenario, a more positive scenario, he then said. “We will not have vibrations for a long time, at least as it seems now, because as we all know, earthquakes cannot predict them. We have a very high impairment of the number of earthquakes, the average size went down below 3 and one dilution at all manifestations of seismic activity that makes us satisfaction because you understand that we will probably not probably go to a long sequence. The sequence has already been very downgraded and this is extremely positive. Of course we cannot exclude the possibility of an earthquake of 4, 4.5, maybe 5 at some point, but which will be an isolated process without having any impact on the island, “said Mr. Lekkas.
