UPDATE: #2
Incident: East Rift Zone Eruption
This is a Civil Defense Message for Thursday, June 7 at 12 noon.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that vigorous lava eruptions continue in the
lower East Rift Zone. Fissure 8 is very active and producing a large channelized flow
that has filled in Kapoho Bay. The channel is overflowing occasionally northward
through remaining areas of Kapoho Beach Lots. The ocean entry is sending a large laze
plume into the air along the coastline.
Due to the current volcanic activity, the following is provided for your information:
The mandatory evacuation order continues for Leilani Estates, Pomaikai Street
and to the east.
The curfew has been lifted west of Pomaikai. Access is for residents with official
credentials only.
If you have been displaced, please fill out a Universal Intake Form at the
Recovery Information and Assistance Center (RIAC) at the Pahoa Community
Center, Monday thru Friday, 9 a.m to 3 p.m. This allows you to register as a
disaster survivor so you can apply to receive assistance.
A community meeting on volcanic ash and VOG will be held today, Thursday, June 7 in
Volcano at the Cooper Center at 7:00 in the evening.
We are on watch 24-hours a day for your safety.
This is your Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency.
