PM Samaras travels to earthquake-stricken Kefalonia after meeting with Russia's PutinPrime Minister Antonis Samaras on Tuesday redirected his plane to the earthquake-stricken island of Kefalonia, where he will spend the night, instead of returning to Athens as planned. Leaving Brussels on Tuesday evening, where he earlier held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Samaras ordered the pilot of the state aircraft to change course and land in Kefalonia instead of Athens.

In the aftermath of the large-scale earthquake (5.9-Richter) that rocked Kefalonia Island on Sunday 26 January, the Hellenic Federation of Hoteliers sent a message of sympathy to those who are going through difficult times.According to latest developments, most of the island’s tourism infrastructure is in very good condition and no problems have been reported that affect the accommodation capacity of the destination.“In view of the new season, everything shows that Kefalonia is ready to welcome and service foreign and Greek visitors,” the federation concluded.

Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Wednesday expressed the government's strong will in assisting the Ionian island of Cephalonia to return to normality following a 5.9 Richter earthquake on Sunday. Samaras arrived on the island on an unscheduled visit late Tuesday.Speaking to the press on Wednesday, the premier noted that all of the island's schools had been checked for damage with the majority expected to start operating again on Monday.Some 400 buildings, including houses, stores and state buildings have been checked so far, noted the prime minister, who added that the overall damage recorded on the island was comparatively small given the magnitude of Sunday's quake. Hospitals and airports were functioning normally, while infrastructure problems included damage on the Lixouri-Argostoli road which remained closed on Wednesday.The island's cultural heritage had not suffered major damage, noted Samaras, who added that a Ministry of Culture team was expected to visit the island next week."Cephalonia remains a beautiful and entirely safe tourist destination," Samaras concluded.

An earthquake that measures 5.0 on the Richter scale has a shaking amplitude 10 times larger than one that measures 4.0, and corresponds to a 31.6 times larger release of energy.
A seismic scale is used to calculate and compare the severity of earthquakes.Two fundamentally different but equally important types of scales are commonly used by seismologists to describe earthquakes. The original force or energy of an earthquake is measured on a magnitude scale, while the intensity of shaking occurring at any given point on the Earth's surface is measured on an intensity scale.The severity of an earthquake is described by both magnitude and intensity. These two frequently confused terms refer to different, but related, observations. Magnitude, usually expressed as an Arabic numeral characterizes the size of an earthquake by measuring indirectly the energy released. By contrast, intensity indicates the local effects and potential for damage produced by an earthquake on the Earth's surface.
