NEWS RELEASE
County of Hawaiīlauea Eruption Recovery ʻi KWebpage Now Live
A webpage dedicated to Kīlauea eruption recovery is now live on the County site at:
http://www.hawaiicounty.gov/kilauea-eruption-recovery. A stand-alone website is under
development and will be launched later this year.
From May to August 2018, Hawai‘i Island was severely impacted by the Kīlauea
volcanic eruption, with thousands of residents displaced from their homes and
businesses. With economic impacts in the hundreds of millions, the County and its
community partners are implementing near-term recovery actions, while planning and
securing resources for long-term mitigation and reconstruction.
The recovery webpage currently includes Resident Resources, Agricultural Resources,
and Community Resources. Content is added and updated frequently.
An email newsletter is also being distributed as new information pertaining to recovery
becomes available. Users may contact kilauearecovery@hawaiicounty.gov to sign up
for recovery updates or to submit relevant content for consideration.
County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
