Although quite rare in Greece, they do get a few very light tremors.

​

To be safe its good to know the Precautions.

​

All Buildings in Greece are Earthquake Proof.

 

​

Don't Run Outside

​

You are much safer to stay inside during an Earthquake.

​

Trying to run in an earthquake is dangerous, as the ground is moving and you can easily fall or be injured by debris or glass.

​

Running outside is especially dangerous, as glass, bricks, or other building components may be falling.

​

DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stops.

​

Under doorway beams is one of the safest places inside.

​

Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture.

​

​

Don't hide under the bed, the small space will be even smaller if the ceiling collapses.

​

Keep away from stairs.
