...ASHFALL ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON HST TODAY...



* WHAT...Kilauea is erupting lava fountains within the summit 

  caldera. Fountaining episodes typically last less than 12 hours 

  but ash can remain in the air longer depending on wind and weather 

  conditions.



* WHERE...Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and areas to the north and 

  northeast, including the communities of Volcano and Mountain View.



* WHEN...Until noon HST today.



* IMPACTS...The public will be affected by a limited hazard extent. 

  Varying levels of tephra, including ash, Pele’s hair and other 

  lightweight pumice may fall downwind of the eruption. These small 

  particles are eye and respiratory irritants, but will have low 

  level impacts for most people.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Limit exposure to tephra, especially if you have respiratory 

sensitivities. Wear a mask, gloves, eye protection, and long 

clothing when clearing ashfall. Close windows and doors. Cover and 

disconnect water catchment systems to protect your water supply.
