After nearly a week of extreme heat affecting Greece, the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection has issued a 'Red Code' alert for Attica, Evia, and Rhodes due to a high wildfire risk on Friday. Officials warned residents and visitors to take precautions, avoid activities that could cause fires, and comply with emergency instructions. The Category 4 fire danger level has led to full mobilization of the civil protection system, requiring heightened preparedness across government agencies, including deploying more staff, increasing aerial monitoring, and coordinating patrols by fire brigades, police, and military forces. Local authorities have been ordered to form coordination committees and implement restrictions such as limiting vehicle traffic and public access to certain natural areas.
