NEWS RELEASE
County of Hawaiʻi Launches Kīlauea Eruption Recovery Website
A dedicated website to support long-term recovery from the 2018 Kīlauea eruption is now live at
https://recovery.hawaiicounty.gov. It replaces the existing recovery webpage on the Hawaiʻi
County site to provide a more robust resource. The recovery website is part of a County-wide
redesign of its online presence that is currently under way.
The new website is intended to provide timely and accurate information to stakeholders about
the County’s and its community partners’ ongoing efforts to support recovery, as well as
resources and information to build future resilience. It also provides interactive features such as
submitting personal stories about the recovery and signing up for status updates.
This new site is part of our commitment to provide the most accurate, up-to-date information to
our community.
Key features of the site include:
Programs and resources available to recovering residents
Recovery stories
Eruption and recovery multimedia
Recovery-related events calendar
Centralized information about recovery planning and implementation
Forms to submit feedback, events, and content to the recovery team
“We’re excited to give the community a more dynamic resource to access to accurate
information about recovery,” said Recovery Manager and R&D Director Diane Ley. “This is
going to be a long process and a two-way flow of communication will help foster continued
collaboration.”
County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
Users can sign up for automated updates so that when recovery events and stories are added
to the site, they will be informed immediately. In addition, recovery newsletters will be sent
occasionally to inform users of new information.
