MyManoa, actually our county has placed certain areas of the lava indignation as areas that cannot get building permits in lower Puna, & these are not new...
IF a lender choses to lend on those parcels, that is on the lender, not the county...
As with flood zones, there are varying degrees of risk with lava inundation....pretty much NO WHERE on Kilauea is without high risk of inundation over a millennia & 60% of Mauna Loa has high risk of inundation in a millennia.... so if you state that no area of known high risk should be inhabited, then you should also, as I stated earlier, be advocating for the de-habitation of much of KaŹ»`u, South Kona & Hilo, as they actually hold much greater DISASTER potential than any Kilauea event, being known to be faster, higher volume & less predictable than Kilauea flows...
If you are only looking to the most recent flows, you are missing the real disaster potential here!
