Wildfire recovery in Megara and Aigialeia

Overview

Following wildfires in late July and early August 2026, the Greek municipalities of Megara and Aigialeia initiated damage assessments for homes, businesses, and infrastructure. In Megara, inspection processes were established to facilitate state aid, including repair grants and temporary housing subsidies.

In Aigialeia, local officials met with the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection to coordinate recovery efforts in Neo Erinous and Sympoliteia. Discussions focused on restoring water and irrigation networks, repairing technical infrastructure, and implementing erosion and flood prevention measures to mitigate future risks. Recovery plans also include potential support for local tourism through the 'Achaia Pass' program.
