There are (maybe) two Earthquake info meetings on Tuesday Evening, Oct. 1, 2013
Tuesday 10/1 at 7pm UH-Hilo UCB 100 will have:
"Damaging Earthquakes in Hawaii and the Great Hawaii ShakeOut
Large earthquakes pose an ever-present danger to Hawaii. Our most recent damaging earthquakes in 2006 affected the islands of Hawai`i and Maui, but our exposure to earthquake risk spans the entire State of Hawaii. Do you know what to do to protect yourself during the next big earthquake? Paul Okubo, a seismologist with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, will present an overview of damaging earthquakes in Hawaii, including current theories on why they occur, and what you need to know about future large earthquakes. He will also talk about Hawaii’s first Great ShakeOut, an earthquake drill that will take place on October 17, and how you can join in on the global effort to increase awareness of earthquake hazards and how to minimize their risks."

Tuesday 10/1 at 7pm After Dark in the Park HVNP auditorium will (may) have:
"Large Earthquakes in the Hawaiian Islands: What You Need to Know
The Island of Hawai'i has a long history of damaging, deadly, and costly earthquakes. But, did you know that large earthquakes are an ever-present danger throughout the State of Hawaii? And do you know what to do to protect yourself during the next big earthquake? Weston Thelen, a seismologist with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, will present an overview of damaging earthquakes in Hawaii, including current theories on why they occur, and what you need to know about future large earthquakes. He will also talk about Hawai'i's first Great ShakeOut, an earthquake drill that will take place on October 17, and how you can join in on the global effort to increase awareness of earthquake hazards and how to minimize their risks."
(I added may to these, as I am not sure if Hawaii Volcanoes NP will be open tomorrow, due to the Fed. shutdown...)
