More about Pahoa and Puna District

Lava flows have continued to add new land to the old shoreline in an intermittent fashion, with lava constantly changing directions and sometimes relocating into new areas. The lava itself and the new land it creates can be hazardous, and anyone visiting the area should consult publication Volcanic Hazards on the Island of Hawai`i

Approximately 60 square miles out of the 500 square miles of Puna have been covered by lava flows, and about 900 structures have been destroyed because of the flows since 1983. Living in Puna has other some unique considerations. For example, most homes in Puna rely on rainwater catchment for their household water. This lack of water availability for firefighting is also an issue with insurance companies.
