Greece Fights Devastating Wildfires

During the summer of 2025, Greece was under siege by a string of 55 wildfires in total fueled by extreme heat, gusty winds, and severe drought. While 50 fires were extinguished by emergency teams, five continued to burn, threatening lives, homes, farmland, and ecosystems.

Mass evacuations were ordered in areas like the Peloponnese and the islands of Evia and Kythira. In the suburbs of Athens, villages such as Drosopigi and Kryoneri were among the most affected. Though Greece recorded no fatalities, the scale of destruction highlights the urgent need for proactive disaster planning, particularly through catastrophic insurance coverage.

Tears in Turkey as Wildfires Take Lives

Turkey has not been spared. On July 26–27, 2025, forest fires broke out in Bursa, the nation’s fourth-largest city, prompting the evacuation of more than 3,500 residents. Tragically, four individuals, including a firefighter, died during rescue operations.

In a separate incident, a blaze erupted in the Eskisehir forest, approximately 150 kilometers east of Bursa, killing ten rescue personnel. These fires have become among the deadliest disasters in the region in recent years. Amid record-breaking temperatures reaching 50.5°C, Turkey’s emergency systems are stretched to their limits.

Why Catastrophic Insurance Matters Now More Than Ever

These wildfire tragedies are part of a disturbing global trend. Climate change is fueling a surge in extreme and frequent natural disasters, making catastrophic insurance essential—not optional.

This specialized insurance covers low-probability but high-impact events such as wildfires, earthquakes, and floods. It protects personal property, homes, businesses, and government assets. As seen in Greece and Turkey, state-funded relief and evacuations can quickly escalate in cost. Without adequate insurance and reinsurance, financial systems buckle under the weight of repeated disasters.

The Insurance Gap in the Mediterranean

Despite increasing climate threats, the Mediterranean remains severely underinsured. Millions of homes and small businesses either lack coverage or are significantly underinsured. When catastrophe strikes, individuals often rely on state assistance or personal savings—neither of which are sustainable.

Tataachi Network bridges this gap by working with global reinsurers to develop strong catastrophe risk models and provide access to flexible insurance solutions. We help clients across sectors and regions select policies tailored to their specific risk profiles.

Building Climate Resilience Through Insurance

The wildfires in Turkey and Greece reflect the harsh new reality of climate volatility. Firefighting capabilities and early warning systems are essential—but must be complemented by financial resilience.

That’s where Tataachi Network plays a vital role. By offering customized catastrophe insurance and facilitating access to leading reinsurers, we help businesses, governments, and individuals recover faster, stay protected, and foster long-term climate resilience.
