Hawaii Volcano Eruption Update - Friday Morning (July 6, 2018) In a striking update from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the civil defense message highlights the ongoing volcanic activity from the Kilauea eruption, particularly around Fisher 8, which continues to feed a lava channel reaching the ocean. This flow is creating a significant ocean entry that stretches along the shoreline and is expanding towards the Coppola Beach and the four corners intersection.

Key Insights:​

• Access Restrictions: The areas around Kapoho Beach Lots and the four corners are now closed to all access due to safety concerns. Authorities warn that spillovers and other breakouts from the lava's path are possible, urging people to stay clear of the active flow field to avoid extreme hazards.
• Weather and Safety Advisories: The National Weather Service has indicated potential thunderstorms from the evening of July 6th through the following day in lower Puna. Additionally, there are traffic disruptions, with one lane of Highway 11 closed at the 30-mile marker near the Volcano Golf Course subdivision.
• Disaster Assistance: The Hawaii Police Department has announced that starting July 7, the Disaster Recovery Center will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Keaau High School gym to assist individuals and businesses affected by the eruption. Transportation options, including buses to facilitate access, will be available. This report outlines the urgent situation on the ground and serves as a reminder of the natural phenomena's power and the ongoing support needed by those impacted. For those following developments in Hawaii, it’s crucial to keep updated and adhere to safety guidelines provided by local authorities.
