The People's Coalition of Katerini is demanding immediate flood protection measures in anticipation of the autumn and winter rainy seasons. The group has criticized local, regional, and national authorities for delaying essential infrastructure projects, arguing that flooding stems from long-term policy failures.

Specific demands include the cleaning and maintenance of the regional ditch, which acts as the city's primary flood defense, and the implementation of works in Pelekas based on updated climate change studies. The coalition also calls for the systematic cleaning of storm drains, sewers, and canals in all high-risk zones to protect lives and property.
