(BIVN) – A Kīlauea eruption recovery update is expected to be delivered to a Hawaiʻi County Council committee in Hilo this morning.

Puna councilmember Ashley Kierkiewicz has requested “approximately 30 minutes for an update and discussion with the Recovery Team on the immediate priorities as listed under the Work Plan of the Interim Recovery Strategy.”

The update will be given at 10 a.m. before the council’s Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic Development.

One important update has already been provided to the community. The Hawaiʻi County Department of Public Works posted a Highway 132 status update on October 14, which stated:
