Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has visited earthquake-struck Santorini, as the Aegean island imposed more precautionary measures amid intense seismic activity. During his visit, Mitsotakis inspected emergency preparedness facilities and announced a 3 million euro or $3.1 million funding package for constructing an emergency evacuation route in the southern part of the island. The prime minister said the government is “preparing for the worst while hoping for the best.” The heightened seismic activity has prompted authorities to implement additional precautionary measures, including restricting traffic in areas listed as vulnerable to rockslides. Army trucks have also brought electricity generators to Santorini, while rescuers were deployed earlier this week.
