Ios has also been declared a state of emergency, following Santorini, Amorgos, and Anafi, due to seismic activity in the maritime area of the Cyclades.

Scientists remain on alert, despite a recent decrease in seismic activity between Santorini and Amorgos. On Sunday, February 16, two committees (the Permanent Scientific Committee for the Assessment of Seismic Risk and Mitigation of Seismic Hazard and the Permanent Scientific Committee for Monitoring the Hellenic Volcanic Arc of OASP) are expected to meet to discuss the seismic activity in the area around Anydros.

In Amorgos, landslides have been reported, with the local municipality placing special signage for vehicle passage. On Monday, the Hellenic Authority for Geological and Mining Research will assess the risk levels in various parts of the island.

According to ERT, the governor from Naxos is expected on Saturday for an on-site assessment of the situation in cooperation with the Municipality of Amorgos. At the same time, the relevant committee will meet to discuss the possibility of extending the school closures for the following week.

Additionally, the Municipality of Amorgos is planning to intervene regarding the grading of students who will be taking national exams.
