Civil protection measures in Messenia and West Mani

Overview

Authorities in Greece are managing ongoing civil protection needs in the Messenia and West Mani regions. The General Secretariat for Civil Protection has extended the state of emergency for several communities to manage the consequences of severe weather, including floods, landslides, and coastal erosion experienced earlier in 2026.

In Messenia, the emergency status for communities such as Karpoforas, Kokkinou, and Petalidi has been extended until January 31, 2027. In West Mani, the extension for areas including Neochori-Stoupa and Trachila will last until April 29, 2027.

In preparation for future risks, the municipalities of Kalamata and West Mani scheduled the “Mantineia 2026” civil protection exercise for November 3, 2026. This drill simulates a large forest fire and population evacuation to test inter-agency coordination between the fire service, police, and emergency care services.
