This is a Civil Defense Message for Tuesday, May 29 at 6:30 in the morning.
Highway 132 is being shut down between Lava Tree State Park and Four Corners, due

necessary plans and monitor your radio or phone for Civil Defense alerts.
Due to the volcanic activity, the following policies are in effect:
Residents close to the active eruption must remain alert to changes in the flow
direction, and are advised to prepare for voluntary evacuation should their areas
