What’s going on with the earthquakes?

It’s inconceivable that a European state wouldn’t have its seismological centre properly staffed—and that when an earthquake strikes in the afternoon or during the night, we have to find out about it from… Greece.
That’s exactly what happened the day before yesterday, when state television, after the second tremor, got the details from a Greek seismologist.
We don’t know if the Seismological Centre at the Geological Survey Department is short-staffed, but it’s absurd for there to be intense seismic activity whilst the Centre operates on civil service hours.
The public needs immediate information about any worrying earthquakes so they can be prepared, and the relevant services need proper guidance.
Let’s not slip back to the era when an earthquake would hit and the seismologist had to drive to Mathiatis to see what the seismograph had recorded before we could find out whether we’d had a quake and how strong it was.
And if it happened at night, we’d find out the next day. For God’s sake.
