The lava flow hazard zones are based on location of eruptive vents, past lava coverage, and topography. [3] Zone 1 - Includes summits and rift zones of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, where vents have been repeatedly active in historical time. Zone 2 - Areas adjacent to and downslope of zone 1. 15-25% of zone 2 has been covered by lava since ...

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) is an agency of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and one of five volcano observatories operating under the USGS Volcano Hazards Program. Based in Hilo, Hawaii, the observatory monitors six Hawaiian volcanoes: Kīlauea, Mauna Loa, Kamaʻehuakanaloa (formerly Lōʻihi), Hualālai, Mauna Kea, and Haleakalā ...
Honolulu Volcanics. The Honolulu Volcanics are a group of volcanoes which form a volcanic field on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, more specifically in that island's southeastern sector and in the city of Honolulu from Pearl Harbor to the Mokapu Peninsula. It is part of the rejuvenated stage of Hawaiian volcanic activity, which occurred after ...
COURTESY HVO This map from Hawaiian Volcano Observatory shows recent deformation at Kilauea between Sept. 2-14. ... raised the volcano alert level for ground-based hazards from advisory to watch ...
Volcano: Kīlauea's Lower East rift zone: Start date: May 3, 2018 (): End date: September 4, 2018 (): Type: Fissure eruption: Location: Hawaii Island, Hawaii, United States: Impact: 24 injuries; lava fountains, lava flows; at least $800 million (2018 USD) in property damage; volcanic gas and earthquakes forced the evacuation of populated areas and destroyed houses, roads, and utilities.
August 23, 2024 at 4:30 PM. Crack in Chain of Craters Road. Hawaii's Mt. Kīlauea is not erupting, but increasing seismic activity near the volcano has created massive cracks along a road inside ...
For example, the summits and rift zones of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes are rated Hazard Zone 1. [8] Using this same scale, preliminary estimates of lava-flow hazard zones on Maui made in 1983 by the U.S. Geological Survey rated the summit and southwest rift zone of Haleakala as
