Greece has declared a state of emergency on Santorini because of the hundreds of undersea earthquakes that have shaken the resort island for nearly a week. The ministry of civil protection’s announcement Thursday will provide authorities faster access to state resources. A magnitude 5.2 quake late Wednesday was the most powerful recorded since the swarm started on Jan. 31. A government spokesman says multiple emergency services and the military were already mobilized to support the island. The swarm of earthquakes has caused minimal damage. Experts don’t yet know if it could be leading to a stronger earthquake. Thousands of residents and seasonal workers have left, mostly evacuating to the Greek mainland by ferry.
