HONOLULU – Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed a request today for a Presidential Disaster Declaration asking for federal assistance to supplement local emergency protective measures in response to the ongoing Kilauea Lava Flow.

Emergency protective measures undertaken by Hawaii County include the repair, restoration, and re-establishment of alternate routes in and out of affected communities. State efforts include measures to accommodate approximately 900 schoolchildren that will be displaced by the lava flow, and support to county requests for additional air quality monitoring.

  2. Why the "f" aren't they digging ruts to encourage the flow to change direction? It doesn't have to be deep, a foot or two and a sturdy dirt wall. It is liquid after all, viscous as hell, but still liquid.

  4. Let's hope for a better situation for those 900 schoolchildren which will be replaced by the way!

  5. I basically pivoted toward the sky the book and shockingly its not accessible on the web, yet rather it appears like it would be a truly satisfying book! I'm merry you discovered it so productive. homework help australia
