Turkey next to the head Santorini He continued to shake today. According to AFAD data, 4.8 at 14.23 hours earthquake It happened. Santorini Nea Kameni volcanic island experts and members of the army by setting foot in the examinations. The focus of the investigations is the risk of volcanic mobility, one of the biggest concerns.
Experts and members of the army examined seismic mobility
Experts and members of the Army, Santorini Kalderasi in the new Kameni volcanic island, in recent weeks due to increasing seismic mobility investigations.
Nomiku Professor of Geological Oshinography and Physical Geography Nomiku made a statement to the AA correspondent about the ongoing seismic research in Santorini.
Nomiku said that seismic mobility took place in the northeast of the Island and said that it was not interested in the new Kameni volcano.
Nomiku stated that a special gravimeter device was brought to the new Kameni by the Geographical Services Unit of the Greek Army and that the measurements made with this device will be compared with the data in 2011 and 2012.
Data will be collected from submarine seismographs
Nomiku explained that this volcano exploded 3 thousand 500 years ago and then caused a great disaster.
“In addition to gravity measurements, we will make satellite imaging at certain points. In addition, we will collect all data from high -tech submarine seismographers. By transmitting this data to the National Observatory, we will analyze the seismic movements in different points of the island in more detail.”
Noting that seismic activity in Santorini continues, Nomiku emphasized that earthquake foci can be detected more precisely thanks to additional seismographs placed in the region.
Nomiku pointed out that people associate earthquakes with the volcano in question, said that only the explanations of experts should be taken into consideration.
Panic between people and tourists
More than 11,000 people abandoned the island due to successive earthquakes, the authorities began to take additional security measures against a large earthquake.

Santorini Mayor Nikos Zorzos, said in a statement, “We have increased our measures to the highest level. We are taking all the necessary steps to ensure the security of our people and our authorities are following the situation,” he said.
Sismograph placed in many points of the island
Additional seismographs were placed at various points of Santorini in order to better monitor earthquake movements and to determine the risks in advance. Experts try to understand whether there is a sign of a large earthquake by analyzing the source of the shocks in detail.
On the other hand, tsunami People living in the coastal areas against the risk are taking measures to minimize the possible effects of waves by placing sand sacks in front of some houses and churches.
Authorities warned that they would follow the official statements without panic and not to respect unreliable rumors.
