<br />CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY Date: May 30, 2018 <br />MEDIA UPDATE Time: 6 PM <br /> Update: #5 <br /> <br />Incident: East Rift Zone Eruption <br /> <br />This is a Civil Defense Message for Wednesday, May 30 at 6 in the evening. <br /> <br />Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that lava from several fissures continues to move <br />through Leilani Estates, Lanipuna Gardens and towards the Kapoho area. Residents of Kapoho <br />Beach Lots and Vacationland are advised to evacuate due to the possibility of lava cutting off <br />access to Beach Road near Four Corners. One lava flow is approximately 2 ½ miles from Four <br />Corners and a second is about a half-a-mile from Highway 137, north of Ahalanui County Park. <br /> <br />Due to the volcanic activity the following policies are in effect: <br /> Beach Road, from Four Corners to Hawaiian Beaches, is restricted to resident access <br />only, between 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., to allow continued evacuations. <br /> Highway 132 is closed. <br /> Leilani Estates residents with approved credentials are allowed to enter at 7 a.m. but <br />must leave by 6 p.m. This curfew is strictly enforced for your safety. A mandatory <br />evacuation is in effect past Pomaikai Street. <br /> Residents close to any volcanic activity should remain alert and be prepared to <br />voluntarily evacuate if necessary. <br /> Stay tuned to local radio stations for updates from Civil Defense. <br /> <br />We are on watch 24-hours a day for your safety. <br /> <br />Thank you for listening. <br /> <br />This is your Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency. <br />
