If you paranoid of lava flows, try Kauai
most of the island is safe, especially compared to Hilo... the most dangerous volcano on this island, Mauna Loa, came within 4.5 miles of Hilo only 30 years ago. And did this at least 4 other times in last 175 years ie 1852, 1855, 1881, 1942...
Kona is not a city (Kailua is the name of the city there), Kona is 2 districts, North Kona and South Kona dist... and has had many lava flows go through it in last 215 years.... ie just above the airport 1801, North Kona dist above Kiholo 1859, Honokua flow through South Kona dist 1950, Kaapuna flow through South Kona dist 1950, Alika flow through South Kona dist 1919, Hoopuloa flow 1918 and 1926, etc.
in other words zone 3-10 are safe (safest is top of island at Hawi on Kohala Mt.), zone 1-2 are less safe... but still the odds are higher your house burns down from an electrical short than by lava ... unless you live in Kalapana/Kaimu, Blaksands, Seaview, Kehena, Kapoho, Ainaloa, or Oceanview (HOVE) in Kau dist

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
