The leading edge of the June 27 lava flow from Kilauea Volcano has started to advance again after stalling for several days, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense.
The agency’s lava flow update following a Sunday morning overflight said the leading the flow’s leading edge “had advanced approximately 20 yards” since Saturday.
“The small breakout flow upslope from the leading edge along the north flank also remains active and has advanced approximately 30 yards since yesterday and remains further upslope and to the north and does not pose an immediate threat to area communities,” the Civil Defense message continued.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory’s website noted Sunday: “Both of these advances reflect an overall increase in activity of the June 27th flow since Friday.”
The next lava flow community update meeting with representatives from Civil Defense and HVO is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Pahoa High &Intermediate School cafeteria.
The county’s Incident Command Center and Informational Resource Center is also open to answer questions from residents 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday at Pahoa Community Center.
