On Tuesday, the National Park Service issued an advisory, saying that Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park’s main unit will be open to visitors, but the park will not collect fees. The Kahuku Unit will be closed. The post office in the park will also be closed.
Flags inside the park will be flown at half-staff until December 30, officials say.
