USGS:
Map as of 2:00 p.m. HST, June 28, 2018. Given the dynamic nature of Kīlauea’s lower East Rift Zone eruption, with changing vent locations, fissures starting and stopping, and varying rates of lava effusion, map details shown here are accurate as of the date/time noted. Shaded purple areas indicate lava flows erupted in 1840, 1955, 1960, and 2014-2015.

(BIVN) – Hawaii County Civil Defense issued the following message on Friday morning at 6 a.m. HST:

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that Fissure 8 continues to be very active and is feeding a lava channel to the ocean at Kapoho. The flow is producing a broad ocean entry along the shoreline, and is also oozing fresh lava at Kapoho Beach Lots. Gas emissions from the fissure eruption and laze at the ocean entry continue to be very high. The National Weather Service reports trade winds will push vog to the south and west side of the island.

Due to volcanic activity, the following polices are in effect:

• Due to active lava near houses in Kapoho, access by residents is not allowed.
• Due to frequent earthquakes, residents in the Volcano area are advised to monitor utility connections of gas, electricity, and water after earthquakes.
• Under Emergency Provisions, any looting or vandalism during an emergency is treated as a felony.
• Law enforcement agencies are enforcing the Federal Aviation Administration’s Temporary Flight Restriction. No aircraft or drone activity is allowed within the Temporary Flight Restriction.

Disaster assistance is available island-wide to individuals and businesses in Hawaii County that have been affected by the Kilauea eruption.
