According to the park authorities, it is crucial to adhere to the following guidelines for a safe viewing experience.
Firstly, it is advised to stay on marked trails and overlooks at all times.
Volcanic eruptions are inherently hazardous and can undergo sudden changes without warning.
Therefore, it is essential to exercise caution and remain within designated areas.
In addition, drivers should exercise caution while navigating through the park.
It is recommended to slow down and drive safely, keeping in mind the potential risks associated with volcanic activities.
As mentioned by Kristy, a park representative, one can avoid the crowds by visiting the park after 9 PM or before 5 AM.
The park remains open 24 hours a day, allowing visitors the flexibility to choose a suitable time.
Given the conditions at the eruption site, visitors are advised to prepare accordingly.
The weather can be chilly, so it is advisable to bring a jacket.
Wearing long pants and closed-toe shoes is also highly recommended for personal safety.
Additionally, it should be noted that vog, a type of volcanic smog, can pose risks, particularly for individuals with respiratory problems, infants, young children, and pregnant women.
Furthermore, a minimal amount of ashfall is expected from the Kilauea volcano.
While the ashfall is not anticipated to be severe, visitors should remain cautious and take necessary precautions.
By adhering to these safety guidelines, visitors can have a memorable and secure experience while witnessing the extraordinary natural event of the Kilauea volcano eruption.
