Atena

Athens Mayor Haris Doukas has urged the government to implement anti-flooding infrastructure following damage from Storm Atena.

In a social media post on Wednesday, Doukas, also a PASOK leadership candidate, noted that Athens has cleared 14,700 storm drains in 2024.

Severe problems were caused by the heavy downpour that hit Rhodes earlier Wednesday afternoon as part of the “Atena” storm. The heavy rainfall caused significant difficulties for traffic within the city.

The Risk Assessment Committee convened today on the development of the “Atena” storm that has been affecting the country since yesterday.
