HOVE is just like all of lower Puna, it's a one road in and one road out sort of deal. And still, imagine, that subdivision has over 100 miles of road. And if a current satellite view is any measure there’s a lot of folks there.
The Southwest Rift of Mauna goes right through HOVE. The entire place is LZ1. And, as such, when the Lava Zone Map pamphlet came out, (1991 I think?) and HVO made a concerted effort to meet with all the community associations on the island to explain and discuss it's ramifications, it was the folks that ran the HOVE association that said no need, nobody in their community wanted to hear what HVO had to say.
Based on past, recent, history, whole portions of that subdivision could be repaved long before anyone was aware of what happened. Before dawn ever breaks on the first day of a new eruption. In practical terms it's a better bet the eruption would start higher on the mountain and migrate to vents that would impact HOVE. And, as such, give some warning. But still, if the geologic history of the area gives any clue to what's to come, it all could happen in the blink of an eye.
As to 'some warning' remember that one road?
