This is a Civil Defense message for Friday, May 11 at 11:00 AM.
As a precautionary measure, residents of Lower Puna, between Kapoho
and Kalapana, are advised to be on the alert in the event of possible gas
emissions and volcanic eruption.
Because there may be little to no advance notice to evacuate, you should
be prepared to evacuate at short notice. Take this time to prepare.
If you care to evacuate voluntarily, be advised that the County evacuation
shelters are located at the Pahoa Community Center or Kea’au Community
Center.
Food will be provided at the shelters. Accommodations for animals are also
provided at the shelters. You are responsible for their care.
This is a precautionary message. We want everyone in the Lower Puna
area to be ready, and to remain safe.
For your information, all beach parks in Lower Puna have been closed,
including the Pohoiki Boat Ramp.
You will be provided with regular updates. Keep yourself informed by
listening to your radio station.
This is your Hawai'i County Civil Defense.
