Here is our December 17, 2014, message on our response to the #PunaLavaFlow from the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo and Hawaiʻi Community College. Current Situation: County Civil Defense reports the flow front remains active and continues to advance toward Highway 130 and Pāhoa Village Road intersection. Current activity does not pose an immediate threat to area communities but we remain vigilant in tracking the flow. We will communicate with you if there are any new developments that may impact our people in Puna. Resources: Our UH for Puna website has information about UH plans should the lava flow cut off access to Hilo hilo.hawaii.edu/puna-lava-flow/. Classes: If you have concerns about access to courses or work for next semester, please contact your instructors, department heads or supervisors now. UH will work with students and employees on an individual basis. Stay Informed and Remain Prepared: We recommend you stay informed and remain prepared for lava flow activity that may impact you. Visit the County Civil Defense website hawaiicounty.gov/active-alerts/ and follow any new instructions. Please also visit the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory website for flow updates hvo.wr.usgs.gov/. Mahalo: We would like to thank the UH community for the support you have shown each other through this challenging time. We wish you a safe holiday season. Don Straney and Noreen Yamane #UH4Puna
