The European and Mediterranean Major Hazards Agreement expresses its sympathies and solidarity to the Albanian authorities and citizens for the many victims of the earthquake of 6.4 magnitude which struck on 26 November 2019 in the port city of Durres and further afield in Thumane. This was the strongest seismic activity to hit Albania in 40 years and dozens of aftershocks continue to be felt hours after it occured.
The EUR-OPA Agreement stands ready to provide support through technical assistance for prevention and management of natural and technological disasters.
