#National Volcano Early Warning and Monitoring System Act
Hirono, colleagues reintroduce volcano warning and monitoring legislation
In 2022, Hawaiʻi Island residents experienced an eruption from Maunaloa for the first time in nearly 40 years and they continue to see new eruptions from the summit of Kilauea. This program, first authorized in 2019, will help scientists at the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory to continue improving their volcano monitoring and warning capabilities through expanded infrastructure and modernized technology.
