Hawaii County hasn’t finished buying out property owners after the 2018 lava flow that devastated Leilani and Kapoho, and here comes another potential disaster.

UPDATES: The eruption began late Sunday in the summit caldera of the volcano on the Big Island following a series of closely spaced, fairly large earthquakes.

Scientists say an eruption isn’t imminent, but they are on alert because of a recent spike in earthquakes at the volcano’s summit.

Officials say the volcano isn’t erupting and shows no signs of an imminent eruption, but aftershocks could continue for several days.

But the national park must also spend more to deal with the increase of visitors when volcanoes are active.

Seven tons of gravel and two tons of large rocks had to be brought in by wheelbarrow to repair the famed Kilauea Iki trail in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

With its conic shape, Fissure 8 is the most prominent feature of the 2018 eruption in Kilauea’s lower East Rift Zone. Now a small group appointed by state regulators is working to find a name for it.

After Kilauea erupted last year, another Big Island volcano is experiencing 50 to 75 eruptions a week.

FEMA says the agency is required to review disaster assistance payments to ensure the money doesn’t duplicate other assistance, wasn’t inappropriately spent or was provided in error.

You might think a brand new black sand beach would be pristine. But microplastics have already been detected at Pohoiki in Lower Puna.
