Only a few percents of this area has been covered by lava in the past 10,000 years. Zone 9 - Kohala Volcano, which last erupted over 60,000 years ago. Lava Flow Hazard map of Haleakala. The Maui Hazard Zone numbers are a different scale from the island of Hawaiʻi's map. The lava flow hazard zones on Maui use a different scale.
These Lava Flow Hazard Zones are numbered according to the degree of hazard from inundation by lava flows. Zone 1 is the area of the "greatest" hazard, where lava is most likely to come from the ground, and coincides with the rift zones of the two most active volcanoes (Mauna Loa and Kīlauea).
