On September 2023 an Omega Medicane Tropical Cyclone named Daniel was formed in Meditteranean sea between Malta, Sicily and Ionian Pelagos.. The Tropical Cyclone on September 5 2023 had a destructive path, because of the Heavy Rainfall, many regions were badly damaged. Roads disappeared, houses collapsed and that effected the biodiversity of the mountain Pelion. Rainfall data, eo browser’s time lapse videos etc helped us identify the scale of the disaster. We found out about one or two medicanes will form in an average year, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. While medicanes are still considered rare storms, air and water temperatures are increasing around the world, including in the Mediterranean Sea.

The region was hit by: Heavy Rain, Power Outages, displacement and loss of lifes, environmental impact, economic impact, heat, explosions. The restoration projects are costing a lot, and time, manpower are required to implement these tasks. Hopefully, it takes 6 months the underwater current to circulate around Pagasetic Gulf, and restore the inflows from lake Carla….

Natural Disaster Preparedness is the most important action, for us the scouts. Developing an emergency plan or an emergency kit with a plastic emergency boat, securing the house, helping neighbours or renewing an insurance policy, establishing a communication plan or taking training courses in first aid – CPR!! But mostly, we talked about how important is the scientific work of the environmental protection, how the new 3rd generation satellites will help us develop the environmental scientific research.
