Incident: East Rift Zone Eruption
This is a Civil Defense Message for Sunday, May 27 at 11 in the evening.
At approximately 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evening, a large perched lava pond created by
lava flow from Fissure 7 apparently breached, creating a fast moving lava flow that ran
down Leilani Avenue and Luana Street in Leilani Estates. The flow is now moving
slowly toward the Northeast
Due to this flow, the following is provided for your information:
HELCO customers in the lower Puna area, especially Kapoho, may experience
extended power interruptions.
Department of Water Supply customers along Highway 132, between Lava Tree
State Park and Halekamahina Road, may have their water service interrupted.
Residents in the area are advised to stay informed and be prepared to evacuate
with little or no notice.
We are on watch 24-hours a day for your safety.
This is your Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency.
