Kudos randomQ for assessing and accepting responsibility for your chosen level of risk. Also, mahalo for your welcome.
A few things in the article jumped out at me. The first was the prediction of a wave of foreclosures in Puna in a few months due to Universal customers inability to afford coverage under HPIA. The second is summarized below (which is a cut and paste from the Herald Tribune leilanidude):
Puna Councilwoman Ashley Kierkiewicz, who introduced the resolution, also suggested that the U.S. Geological Survey’s lava hazard maps for the island could be re-evaluated.
“They are from the 70s,” Kierkiewicz said, suggesting the USGS could take a closer look at the island’s volcano hazards. “But taking a closer look at the volcano risks on the island could be a sort of Pandora’s Box.”
Council Chair Heather Kimball agreed, speculating that, while some areas on the island thought to be hazardous might turn out to be safer than expected, other areas thought to be safe might also turn out not to be.
