Well if they have plenty of money for helicopters then by all means a new way of travel could be in order?. Large baskets similar to air ballons could attach to helicopters and transport dozens at a time if needed. Also these can be used to haul goods to the stores or shelters for gas may be hard to get or to expensive, depending on the nature of disaster. Also options like bikes or mopeds can be waiting on both sides of the flow if the helicopters need shorter distances to fly?. I realize the flow is coming, but it is trickling at the present time. There was a larger volume of lava going down the pali to Kalapana for the last 4 years than there is going NE Currently. I can only wonder where is Kiluea storing this extra lava right now, and if she lets out that old volume amount again, Where?. We may get another eruption or fissure break out before to long. The current lava tube is a couple miles long but it seems small in width, could bombing ordinances change its path from the crater?. OR pick an area a mile or two down the tubed area and drop continues ocean water to stall or alter the direction?.
