Nanawale is lava zone 2

Most web sites (real estate oriented) say zone 2, but according to one USGS page:

"There are also residential neighborhoods within Lava Flow Hazard Zone 1 in the lower east rift zone of Kilauea volcano. All of Leilani Estates, Lanipuna Gardens, and parts of Vacationland Hawaii and Nanawale Estates are within Zone 1."

I interpret this to be saying that only part of Nanawale is zone 1. Not that it makes that big of a difference.
