On the evening of Monday, November 28, Governor David Ige issued an Emergency Proclamation relating to Mauna Loa.

The disaster relief period is in effect through Jan. 27, 2023, unless terminated or superseded by separate proclamation.

In a press release Governor Ige said, “We’re thankful the lava flow is not affecting residential areas at this time, allowing schools and businesses to remain open.  I’m issuing this Emergency Proclamation now to allow responders to respond quickly or limit access, if necessary, as the eruption continues.”  Governor Ige continued, “Hawaiʻi Island is open to visitors, and it is safe to view the volcano from a distance.  Please respect our community and avoid closed areas, residential neighborhoods, and no parking zones.”

The Hawaiʻi Department of Health is advising the public to be prepared for air quality impacts due to the Mauna Loa eruption. COVID face masks like KN95s do not provide protection from sulfur dioxide or vog. However, they can help reduce inhaled hazardous particulates such as falling ash and Pele’s hair, when walking outside.
