If we go by local publications, then:

"Assuming that the current changes result in a new vent opening on or around Pu‘u ‘O‘o, the main question is, “where exactly will the vent appear?” Unfortunately, scientists are not able to determine with certainty where a new vent might open. But, it’s an important question, because the accompanying hazard will largely depend on the location (and duration) of the vent."
So am still struggling to see how Kilauea or Mauna Loa eruptions and when or where they occur can be predicted.
