Disaster risk profile: Greece

This report explores Greece’s exposure to flood and earthquake hazards and the potential consequences for people, infrastructure, and the national economy. While floods occur more regularly and lead to recurring economic losses, the analysis highlights that earthquakes represent the most severe risk, capable of producing large-scale damage and casualties during rare but powerful events. Using historical data and risk modelling, the profile estimates how many people and how much economic activity could be affected under different scenarios, while also showing how losses may grow in the future as urban areas expand and economic assets increase.
