KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010): Current Volcano Alert Level: WARNING Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE

Clip from Article: "...Volcanic unrest in the lower East Rift Zone of KÄ«lauea Volcano continues.

The location of future outbreaks is not known with certainty, but could include areas both uprift (southwest) and downrift (northeast) of the existing fissures, or resumption of activity at existing fissures. Communities downslope of these fissures could be at risk from lava inundation..."
