Hawai`i County Civil Defense Administrator Darryl Olivera told Big Island Now Friday that his agency will be holding community meetings in Pahoa to update the community on the June 27 lava flow that the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says could impact homes and infrastructure “in weeks to months.”
“We are scheduling community information meetings, so starting on Monday, we’ll be meeting in the Pahoa community at 6:30 p.m. in the Pahoa Community Center,” said Olivera. “We’re looking at having a series of meetings so for people who might not make one, they could come to others.”
The other community information meetings will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 26 and Wednesday, Aug. 27. The meeting time and location are the same as Monday’s session.
“It’s to give the community an opportunity to ask Dr. Jim (Kauahikaua) and myself, or others there, about the status and if they’re are any discussions of what is the possible impact,” Olivera explained.
Olivera’s agency, already stretched with overseeing restoration efforts following damage done by Tropical Storm Iselle, has been working with the HVO over the last several days to monitor the lava flow.
