Starting today until February 13, 2026, the regions of Achaia and Ilia in Western Greece are placed under a 'Red Code' alert due to the forecast of severe weather leading to potential flooding. This action comes in response to an Emergency Weather Deterioration Bulletin issued by the National Meteorological Service, which has raised concerns about the risks of flooding in these areas. The alert indicates a high level of mobilization across local authorities to prepare for and address possible emergencies stemming from the weather conditions.

In light of the impending severe weather, the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection has instructed municipalities and regions to convene their Local Operational Coordination Committees (Σ.Ε.Σ.Ο.Π.) and Regional Operational Coordination Committees (Π.Ε.Σ.Ο.Π.Π.) as soon as possible. This proactive measure aims to ensure that all necessary actions and resources are appropriately mobilized to mitigate the effects of the flooding risks. The authorities are emphasizing preparedness and community safety during this critical period.

The recommendation from the Civil Protection Authority includes immediate actions to protect citizens and infrastructure against potential flooding. Communities are urged to stay informed about the weather updates and adhere strictly to safety instructions while local governments coordinate their responses to manage risks effectively. The situation remains under close observation, and additional measures may be implemented as required to safeguard public safety during this severe weather event.
