Volcano acting up

[Kahunascott]

Glen,
Thanks for clearing up your comment.
I would think that a planned evacuation route from Pahoa to Keaau should be part of any State or Counties administration? It’s an issue about safety more then anything else. The population of lower Puna has grown immensely over the last 15 years since the destruction of Kalapana. How long do you think any stranded population can survive cut off from food, medical and services? Remember it’s just not being cut off from Hilo as you put it, but things like electricity, water, and food.
I have first hand experience in this matter. I had the privilege to work in Homestead Florida shortly after hurricane Andrew. I saw first hand what the lack of service, food, medical, gas and electricity can do to a community and it isn’t a nice picture.
I read Rob Tuckers report for a second route as well as a few others and they all have taken the time to analyze the need for a second route out and they have taken in consideration the local geography to best utilize what we have to work with. It’s a matter of taking action for the community to help protect life.
Aloha,
Scott
