Cease building in Puna makai

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 Kaʻ`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...

 
Yes! That's my point. Though I am far from as black and white as your statement.

And I am lobbying our representatives to know it. 

I think HOVE is a far bigger disaster than Kapoho/Leilani ever was, and it is ready to happen. Think of the scale of things, the immediacy, when Mauna Loa's Southwest Rift opens up...

Compare HVO recent Volcano Watch..

With the chronology of the 1950 Mauna Loa eruption...

And ask.. what are all those people in that red zone (in HVO Volcano Watch referenced above) going to do? Are we, county and state, ready for such an event?

We have it down in flood zones.. we make settling in them very hard.. not so much our lava zones, eh?
