Around here

Distances are in a straight line from the point OpenStreetMap records for the settlement and are not travel times. The nearest option that does not cross water is preferred. OpenStreetMap coverage is uneven.

Context from the map

The same facts the Katatopisi map shows for the settlement's point, in the same words. They are regional data, not a survey or a safety guarantee.

Facts about the location
TopicWhat is recorded
Flooding (YPEN hazard maps)No mapped flood hazard area nearby
WildfiresNo recorded fire within 5 km in the data (EFFIS, 2016–2026).
Earthquake hazard (ESHM20)Expected ground shaking: 0.32g · moderate. The figure is for rock; soft ground shakes harder.
SEVESO sitesARKAS – lower tier, 4.8 km away

Maps cover designated high-risk zones only, and only the low-probability scenario (1-in-1000 years); scenarios for more frequent floods are not included. “Outside” does not mean “safe”.

Mean peak ground acceleration with a 10% chance of being exceeded in 50 years (the 475-year return period), from the European ESHM20 model. It is a regional figure, not a ground study for this plot.

Fires: EFFIS (Copernicus), areas of roughly 30 hectares and above; the dates in our data run 2016–2026. Smaller fires do not appear.
