With all the attention turned to the Big Island following the eruption of Mauna Loa, some local businesses that rely on tourism are hoping for a boost in sales just like what they saw when Kilauea erupted several years ago.

HAWAI'I ISLAND (KITV4) -- The County of Hawaiʻi has opened shelters in Kaʻū at the Robert Herkes Gymnasium in Pāhala and at the Old Airport Gymnasium (Kailua Park) in Kailua-Kona amidst reports of self-evacuations along the South Kona coast.
Multiple images have surfaced on social media indicating lava activity outside of the caldera. At this time, no lava migration into a rift zone has been confirmed.
USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and the County of Hawaiʻi Civil Defense Administration are actively monitoring the situation and will update the public immediately if any eruption activity is confirmed outside of the Summit caldera.
For more information, the community is asked to visit the County of Hawaiʻi Civil Defense Hazard Map.
