Residents have been told to start reviewing emergency plans in case lava flows from Hawaii's Mauna Loa volcano threaten local communities.
Ashfall Advisories have been issued in Hawaii after Mauna Loa erupted on Sunday night.
Residents at risk of lava flows from Mauna Loa have been asked to begin reviewing emergency plans and to refer to Hawaii County's civil defense for further guidance and information. Lava flows will most likely remain within the caldera walls of Mauna Loa if the eruption remains inside of Mokuaweoweo. However, lava flows could quickly move downslope if vents form outside of its walls.The USGS said the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has been in close contact with emergency officials and is monitoring Mauna Loa.
