At the Ocean Entry viewing site the County went to great lengths to provide safe viewing for visitors while protecting the property rights of local residents. The County had a signed agreement with the local families to allow access over their land without residents having to deal with liability issues.
The Pahoa flow will be much less static than the Kalapana episode, and more difficult to administer, but I imagine the County will have the same priorities. (Allow safe viewing, if possible, and protect the privacy of local residents.)
I would encourage people not from the immediate area to stay away until a safe viewing site is established and protocols set up. Just coming to lookie-loo is going to create problems for both residents and viewers.
This has been your Hawaii County snorkle Defense, have a safe day.
