Following the series of earthquakes that struck Epirus on March 8, 2026, at least 74 buildings have been declared uninhabitable by the General Directorate for Natural Disaster Response. The evaluations were carried out in the municipalities of Dodoni, Zitsa, Ioannina, Souli, and Filiates, with a total of 350 inspections performed. Of these, 74 were deemed uninhabitable, 122 are in need of repairs, while 154 were classified as suitable for occupancy. The ongoing assessments reflect the authorities' commitment to addressing the immediate needs of affected residents, as they continue to receive new requests for inspections from local municipalities.

The inspections are being conducted amidst continuing seismic activity, which complicates the response and recovery efforts. Local authorities are prioritizing safety while coordinating actions for compensations and rehabilitation of the affected areas. There is notable activity in the municipality of Filiates, where further evaluations of certain cases are taking place to ensure comprehensive support for residents. As the situation develops, the emphasis remains on ensuring the structural safety of buildings to protect residents from further risks associated with earthquakes.

Overall, this situation reveals the vulnerability of the region to natural disasters and the significant efforts being made to remedy the impacts on local communities. As inspections continue and recovery plans are adapted to the challenges posed by ongoing seismic activity, the focus on health and safety for the affected populations is paramount. The future courses of recovery and reconstruction will depend heavily on the outcomes of these inspections and the rapid response of local authorities to these challenges.
