Kilauea Eruption Episode 48 is in the early stages with a potential eruption window between now and May 1st.  If an eruption occurs, varying levels of ash, Pele’s hair, and other lightweight tephra may fall downwind of the eruption.  Small particles can travel farther from the eruption site and may affect communities at greater distances.

If you live downwind of Kilauea Summit, be prepared to take precautions if needed, such as disconnecting water catchment systems.

You will be informed as conditions change.
