Greece extends emergency state in Messenia and West Mani

The Greek General Secretariat for Civil Protection has extended the state of emergency for several communities in the Messenia and West Mani municipalities. The decision, signed by General Secretary Nikolaos Papaevstathiou, stems from the ongoing need to manage the consequences of severe weather events that occurred in early February 2026.

In the Messenia municipality, the emergency status is extended for three months until January 31, 2027. This affects the communities of Karpoforas, Kokkinou, Paniperio, and Petalidi, as well as Kefalino, Revmatia, Leukochora, and Amfithea. These areas were impacted by floods and landslides caused by heavy rainfall.

In West Mani, the emergency state is extended for six months until April 29, 2027, covering the communities of Neochori-Stoupa, Agiou Nikolaou, and Trachila. In addition to floods and landslides, these areas have also experienced coastal erosion due to intense winds and rainfall. The emergency status will expire automatically once these deadlines pass.
