“Recently, Greece has suffered a series of extreme weather attacks. During this Christmas, a strong storm named “Elena” hit many parts of Greece, resulting in traffic restrictions in many areas in the northeast, including Xanthi and Rhodope. Several sections of the Egnatia Expressway were forced to be temporarily closed, and vehicles over 3.5 tons were prohibited from passing. From the evening of the 25th to the morning of the 26th, continuous heavy rains flooded roads in many parts of Greece, and serious waterlogging occurred in the northern and southern suburbs of Athens. Some sections of the coastal Poseidonos Avenue were closed due to excessive waterlogging. The water level of the Messapios River on the island of Evia rose rapidly, and vehicles were trapped and water entered the basements of residents. The fire department received a large number of calls for help. However, just after “Elena” left, a new round of extreme cold air from Ukraine swept Greece on the evening of the 27th. Attica, including the northern suburbs of Athens, will usher in snowfall. Eastern Greece will also face continuous snowfall and heavy rainfall. Some areas may even experience thunderstorms and heavy snow, which undoubtedly brings more severe challenges to Greece’s transportation, residents’ lives and infrastructure.”
Severe impacts of extreme weather
1.Traffic paralysis: Strong storms and cold waves caused roads to be flooded, frozen and snowy. Highways and urban roads were closed one after another, public transportation was blocked, and a large number of vehicles were trapped on the road, which seriously affected people’s daily travel and the transportation of goods, causing logistics stagnation and causing huge losses to economic activities.
2.Infrastructure damage: Heavy rains caused floods, which may destroy infrastructure such as bridges and roads, while extreme cold weather may cause water pipes to rupture and power facilities to be damaged, resulting in water and power outages in some areas, affecting the normal lives of residents and bringing great difficulties to rescue and recovery work.
3.Residents’ lives are disturbed: Residents’ houses may be flooded, and basements may be flooded, causing property losses. In cold weather, heating demand increases, but energy supply may be affected, causing many inconveniences to residents’ lives and even endangering their lives, especially for the elderly, children and vulnerable groups.
4.Frustration of agriculture and tourism: Severe weather causes serious damage to agricultural production, and crops may be flooded or frozen, resulting in reduced production or even no harvest. At the same time, as a tourist destination, Greece will be discouraged by such weather, which will deal a heavy blow to the tourism industry and affect local economic income.
Superpangol reminds citizens to pay attention
1.Travel safety: Try to reduce unnecessary travel, especially avoid going to mountainous areas and severely affected areas. If you must travel, be sure to understand the road conditions and weather information in advance and be fully prepared. When driving, pay attention to the impact of road icing and strong winds, control the speed, keep a distance between vehicles, and avoid sudden braking and sharp turns. All vehicles must be equipped with anti-skid chains and strictly abide by traffic control measures 17.
2.Keep warm and prevent cold: In extremely cold weather, pay attention to keeping warm and add clothes in time, especially the elderly, children and people with chronic diseases, pay attention to preventing colds and other diseases. Try to stay indoors, close doors and windows, and pay attention to safety when using heating equipment to prevent accidents such as carbon monoxide poisoning.
3.Prevent natural disasters: Pay close attention to weather warning information and take precautions against possible natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and mudslides. Residents living in low-lying areas or those who may be affected by floods should take precautions in advance, such as preparing flood prevention materials such as sandbags, and move to a safe place in time when necessary.
4.Pay attention to housing safety: Check and deal with potential safety hazards in the house in a timely manner, such as clearing snow and debris from the roof and drainage pipes to prevent water accumulation from causing damage to the house. During heavy rains, pay attention to preventing water from entering the basement. You can prepare pumping equipment in advance or contact a professional waterproofing company for treatment.
