The Greek island of Ios has been placed under a state of emergency following continued seismic activity in the region between Santorini and Amorgos.

The emergency measures, aimed at addressing the impact of the tremors, will remain in effect until March 14, 2025.

Ios is the fourth island in the Aegean to be declared in a state of civil protection emergency, following similar measures implemented for Santorini (Thera), Amorgos, and Anafi. The decision comes as authorities monitor the ongoing seismic unrest in the area, taking precautionary steps to ensure public safety and infrastructure stability.

The affected islands lie in a seismically active zone, and recent tremors have raised concerns among both residents and experts. Authorities continue to assess the situation while urging caution and preparedness among locals and visitors alike.
