Just out of curiosity - have you a weather station? Anyway to record and keep track of wind velocity/direction, barometric pressure, humidity , temperature? Do you have a method to track gas emissions and their geographical sources?
You live right smack dab center of an active rift, thus the reason for the presence of relatively heavy SO2 PPM and potentially high CO2 ppm before a peak eruption. That rift extends from the Pacific Ocean sea floor all the way up to the Kilaeuea caldera. It is laced with active vents. Would you move into the Kilauea Caldera? Why would you then move atop the very rift that feeds Kilauea directly and park yourself above active near surface lava, it's the same thing without the obvious visible presence of a caldera itself, all the rest is present or lurking a little further below the ground allowing the upper rock to temporarily remain cool (for the moment). At any time it may decide to create a new caldera in your driveway.
We all gamble living here, we have all accepted that or something similar too by way of flow. Some of us have decided to gamble more greatly than others and move right smack atop the known sources of Lava emissions and everything that is associated with it.
Personally I have no idea why any governing body should be relocating anyone out of there on the tax payers nickel. Maybe in the case of emergency evacuation of persons but otherwise... no, no payoffs unless insured and suffering a loss. So people can buy on an active rift zone and then get paid 130% of the property value because they later decide it's not working for them to live there. I don't get it.
