Civil Defense Eruption Information Update For Tuesday, November 11th At 5PM This afternoon’s assessment shows that the flow front remains stalled with very little activity and has not advanced. Three active breakouts continue to advance and be monitored. These breakouts are located in the area of the cemetery below Apa’a Street, above Apa’a Street in the area west or upslope of the transfer station, and .3 miles upslope of Apa’a Street. The breakouts currently do not pose an immediate threat to area residents and will be monitored closely. Smoke conditions are currently moderate to heavy with light trade winds blowing the smoke in a south southwest direction towards the Leilani and lower Puna areas. Smoke conditions may increase in some areas and residents down wind that may be sensitive or have respiratory problems are advised to take necessary precautions and to remain indoors. The evacuation advisory for those residents down slope of the flow will continue and residents will be kept informed of the flow status and advancement. The Pahoa Village Road between Apa’a Street and the Post Office Road will remain closed and limited to area residents only. We apologize for any inconvenience the road closure may be presenting with and remind everyone that access to the businesses in the Pahoa area can be made via the Pahoa Village Road from the intersection of Highway 130 and Highway 132. Civil Defense and public safety personnel will be continuing operations in the area round the clock to maintain close observations of flow activity. Additional updates will be broadcasted as conditions change. We would like to thank everyone for your patience and understanding and your cooperation and assistance is greatly appreciated.
