You are correct.
Lava Zone 1
Leilani Estates
Kapoho
Lava Zone 2
Black Sand Beach
Nanawale Estates
Hawaiian Beaches and Shores and Parks
Kehena
Puna Beach Palisades
Kalapana Seaview Estates
Kaimu-Makena Houselots (which is funny because a 15 year old flow is covering part of it)
Lava Zone 3
Ainaloa
Tiki Gardens
Hawaiian Paradise Park
Hawaiian Areas
Fern Acres
Everything up and around Volcano and all of Hilo
These zones were important to us when we bought, but in retrospect, they don't mean too much. They are based on past events, and who knows where the ground is going to open up in the future?
It takes a special breed of person to live in a place like Puna. But at least with lava you have a few days to get out of the way. The people in the Hurricane, earthquake and tornado areas are worse off in my opinion. Sitting here in California I have no idea when the next earthquake is going to hit. It could come before I finish this sentence (I made it!). It could come in 30 years.
