Meeting of Ierokipia Municipality with Civil Defence – Shelters and Unmet Needs

The Mayor of Ierokipia, Nikos Paliou, held a meeting with representatives of the Civil Defence on issues of civil protection and crisis management. Significant shortages in shelters within the municipality were identified, with only seven shelters for the entire municipality, located only in Geroskipou. The Mayor proposed the inclusion of the Christoforos Chatzilampri Health Centre and the Geroskipou Multi-Purpose Child Care Centre in the shelter list, and the provision of urban planning incentives to increase shelters in new developments. The installation of warning sirens in the municipal districts of Konion, Timi, Agia Marinouda and Acheleia was also requested. It was agreed to organise an event to inform the public about the Civil Defence's operational plans and self-protection measures.
