Appeal to citizens to be ready and to cooperate with the Authorities in view of the next days with the high risk of fires, the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection said, Vasilis Kikilias, before the start of the Coordination Meeting with the competent bodies in view of the high risk of fire.

Specifically, the minister stated:

“From today, late at night and throughout Saturday until noon-Sunday afternoon, it appears that the half the country is in orange for wildfire risk due to gusty winds of 7-8 and locally 9 Beaufort. So, in orange will be Mytilini, Chios, Samos, Ikaria, all the islands of the Cyclades, all of Evia, Boeotia up to Livadia, Attica, the Prefecture of Corinth, Arcadia, Argolis, Laconia , Kythira and all of Crete.

I earnestly request all our fellow citizens to cooperate with the state machinery, which is alert and fully prepared. And to help so that we overcome this difficulty, in all that has to do with weather conditions and causing fires.”
