Greece declares emergency on second island as earthquakes continue

Authorities have declared a state of emergency on Amorgos, a Greek island, due to ongoing earthquakes. This follows a similar declaration for Santorini on February 7, as thousands of tremors have been recorded in the region. The earthquakes, some around magnitude 5, have raised concerns among scientists. The epicenter is moving north toward Amorgos, prompting increased emergency response efforts, especially on Santorini, where many residents have evacuated. Since January 26, about 12,000 earthquakes with magnitudes over 1 have been reported. While Greece is seismically active, such a prolonged series of earthquakes is unusual.
