Weather: Floods and roads rivers in Attica
Recommendations have been issued again by the Civil Protection in order for the citizens to be particularly careful, ensuring that self-protection measures are taken against risks arising from the manifestation of intense weather phenomena.
As it became known from the Fire Department, the Operations Center of the Fire Department has received today, so far, a limited number of calls for Attica, mainly for pumping water in Nea Smyrni, Kallithea and Moschato.
At the same time, early in the afternoon a message via 112 was sent to residents of the Peloponnese regions warning them of rains and storms, strong in some places from noon until the early evening hours and calling on them to be careful in their movements during the phenomena. In particular, the message states: “In the Peloponnese from midday until the early evening there will be rains and strong storms in places. Be careful when traveling during the phenomena. Follow the instructions of the authorities.”
