Incident: East Rift Zone Eruption
This is a Civil Defense Message for Thursday, June 7 at 6:00 in the evening.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports fissure 8 is very active and producing a large
channelized flow that has filled in Kapoho Bay. The lava delta is 1.2 miles wide in the
Vacationland area and the flow is expanding northward through 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.
We are on watch 24-hours a day for your safety.
This is your Hawai‘i County Civil Defense Agency.
