Municipality Awaits Shelter Information from Civil Defence

The Municipality of Dromolaxia-Meneou is awaiting official information from the Civil Defence regarding approved and registered shelters in the communities of Tersefanou, Kitiou, Pervolion, and Meneou, in order to inform citizens. Mayor Kypros Andronikou stated that he contacted the Civil Defence by phone and requested a written update on the shelters, noting that some churches with basements were not registered in the SafeCy application. The Spokesperson for the Civil Defence, Panagiotis Liasidis, stated that in addition to the SafeCy application, announcements are being made with instructions for areas without shelters, regarding protection spaces. He also mentioned that studies are being conducted to increase the number of shelters in areas near Larnaca Airport, where there are not enough shelters. Mr. Liasidis emphasized that citizens should find protection spaces, such as apartment buildings or basements, away from windows, in case they are in an area without shelters. He highlighted the need for calm and preparation, given the situation in Iran. Mayor Andronikou expressed his disappointment with the lack of prior information from the Civil Defence regarding registered shelters, but stressed that the current need for potential shelter use led to the request for official information.
