Following the drone attack on the British Bases in the Akrotiri area, the Civil Defence Force was immediately activated, sending forces to the area to assist residents. In coordination with the Kourion Municipality and the British Bases Administration, preparations were made to accommodate residents at the Limassol CEN. Civil Defence teams remain in Akrotiri to inform residents and assist with transport to temporary shelters. Patrols are being conducted to provide assistance to those in need. The Civil Defence is in constant communication with Local Authorities and the Bases Administration. In case of need, sirens will sound and announcements will be made via radio and television. Citizens can locate shelters through the “SafeCY” application or by calling 22 403 451 or 22 403 452.
