The Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands is thoroughly documenting the damage caused by extreme weather events in the last ten days of November 2025. The Municipality has activated its mechanisms to immediately identify problems and advance necessary restoration efforts.
How to Report Damages:
The Municipality urges citizens who have suffered damage to their homes due to flooding, as well as those who have identified damage to public infrastructure (such as roads, bridges, embankments, landslides, networks, etc.), to submit a relevant request. Each request must include a clear description, precise location, photographic material, and full contact details.
- Email for Submissions: [email protected]
- Contact Phone: 26610 24444
For this process, two three-member committees have been established. These committees will be responsible for recording, locating, and inspecting damages to both public (municipal) infrastructure and private residences.
A. Public Infrastructure
The responsible committee will conduct on-site inspections of municipal works and technical infrastructure to:
- Ascertain and thoroughly document damages caused by the severe weather phenomena.
- Estimate the required resources and technical personnel for immediate restoration.
B. Residences – Households
The second committee will review citizen reports and will:
- Evaluate, following an on-site inspection, the extent of damage to primary residences.
- Determine if affected citizens are eligible for financial assistance for basic living needs.
- Specify the amount of aid for simple repair works and/or replacement of household goods.
This procedure is implemented in accordance with Joint Ministerial Decision No. 33862/16-5-2019 by the Ministers of Interior and Finance, regarding the provision of financial assistance to citizens affected by natural disasters. It is important to note that the Municipality is exclusively responsible for households, while businesses fall under the jurisdiction of the Ionian Islands Region.
