Euboea Earthquakes: Damage Assessments Continue, 15 Homes Marked 'Yellow'

In the wake of recent seismic activity in Northern Euboea, Greece, authorities have identified 15 residential buildings that have been marked as "yellow." This classification indicates that these homes have sustained damage and require further inspection or repair following the earthquakes.

Inspection teams from the General Directorate for the Restoration of Natural Disaster Impacts (GDREDI) have been actively surveying the affected regions, including Prokopi, Dafnoussa, and Spatharia. These teams are working under the coordination of the General Secretariat for Natural Disaster Recovery and State Assistance to document the extent of the damage and initiate recovery and state aid procedures.

The inspections have encompassed residences, commercial spaces, and public buildings to determine their usability. In Prokopi, 6 houses were deemed "green" (safe for use) and 8 "yellow." Dafnoussa saw 4 houses classified as "green" and 4 "yellow," while in Spatharia, 4 houses were "green" and 3 "yellow." Additionally, one commercial building in Dafnoussa was marked "yellow," and two public buildings in the same area were designated "green."

Beyond the structural assessments, the process of registering and applying for financial assistance for household furnishings has commenced for affected residents. Inspections are scheduled to continue in the coming days to ensure a comprehensive record of damages and to expedite support measures. GDREDI is collaborating closely with the Municipality of Mantoudi-Limni-Agia Anna and the Region of Central Greece to facilitate swift recovery and effective support for the impacted areas.
