Inspecting Shelters Door-to-Door in Larnaca – Looking for Other Spaces

Personnel from the Civil Defence are conducting checks on shelters in Larnaca, both external and internal, to identify problems and deficiencies. The Mayor of Aradippou is trying to identify new spaces that can be used as shelters. There are 138 public shelters in Larnaca, and 39 in Aradippou. The checks focus on accessibility, cleanliness and the use of shelters, as some owners also use them for private use. Shelters are intended for temporary protection, not long-term stay. The possibility of changing legislation to provide incentives to owners and increase their obligations was discussed. Citizens are encouraged to visit the Civil Defence website for self-protection instructions.
