The General Secretariat for Civil Protection in Greece has declared a 'Red Code' alert for the regional units of Achaia and Ilia in the Western Greece region. This precautionary measure follows an urgent weather deterioration bulletin issued by the National Meteorological Service. The alert is effective from Wednesday, February 11, 2026, through Friday, February 13, 2026, signaling the need for immediate action in light of risks from possible flooding events.

In response to this alert, local municipalities and regions are urged to convene their Local Operational Coordinating Bodies for Civil Protection (T.E.S.O.P.P.) and Regional Operational Coordinating Bodies for Civil Protection (P.E.S.O.P.P.). These meetings aim to ensure that all necessary preparations and preventive measures are taken to minimize the impact of severe weather on communities. The mobilization reflects the seriousness of the forecast, highlighting the government's commitment to safeguard public safety against natural disasters.

The decision to issue a 'Red Code' is significant as it indicates a high level of readiness and response required from both officials and citizens. With the potential for severe flooding, the actions taken during this alert will be crucial in managing resources, responding to emergencies promptly, and protecting vulnerable populations in the affected areas. Residents have been urged to stay informed and follow safety guidelines as the situation develops, emphasizing the importance of community preparedness in facing adverse weather conditions.
