<br />CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY DATE: June 2, 2018 <br />MEDIA UPDATE TIME: 1:00 PM <br /> UPDATE: #3 <br /> <br />Incident: East Rift Zone Eruption <br /> <br />This is a Civil Defense Message for Saturday, June 2 at 1:00 in the afternoon. <br /> <br />Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that vigorous lava eruptions continue throughout <br />lower East Rift Zone in Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens. Fissure 8 is feeding a <br />large channelized flow traveling along Highway 132, the Pahoa-Kapoho Road, with two <br />flow fronts. <br /> <br />The northern flow front is above Four Corners, near the intersection. The southern flow <br />front crossed Highway 137, Kalapana-Kapoho Road, 300 feet south of the Four Corners <br />intersection. Part of the flow hit Green Lake and is creating a steam plume in the area. <br />The flow is moving downslope toward the ocean. <br /> <br />Due to lava crossing Highway 137, the following policies are in effect: <br /> There is no access to Kapoho, Vacationland, Highway 132, and Highway 137. <br /> <br />On roadways: <br /> Government Beach Road, between Kahakai Boulevard and Cinder Road, is open <br />to Waa Waa and Papaya Farms Road residents only with official credentials. <br />There is no curfew. <br /> <br />Stay alert to warnings from Civil Defense officials and be prepared to evacuate with <br />little notice. <br />Shelters at Pahoa Community Center and Kea’au Armory are open and pet friendly. <br />We are on watch 24-hours a day for your safety. <br /> <br />This is your Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency. <br />
