Greece is one of Europe's most seismically active countries. Athens has experienced M5+ earthquakes and sits in EAK 2000 Zone I (PGA 0.16g). Pre-1985 buildings lack modern seismic reinforcement.
| Zone | PGA | Areas | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | 0.16g | Athens, Thessaloniki | Moderate |
| II | 0.24g | Corinth, Patras | High |
| III | 0.36g | Ionian Islands | Very High |
Greece's YPPO (Ministry of Culture) protects thousands of listed buildings. RiskAI X automatically flags heritage status. Listed buildings require ministry approval for any structural changes.
