Reflection & Regrowth: Anniversary of the 2018 Kīlauea Eruption (Ep.1)

Five years ago tomorrow, Kīlauea showcased its power when the Lower East Rift Zone erupted in Leilani Estates, forever changing the landscape and lives of those around Puna, from Kapoho to Volcano Village. To mark this anniversary, we'll be LIVE streaming the first installment of a video series on the struggles and recovery from the historic eruption, in collaboration with Pōhaku Pelemaka, Kealoha Estate, and the support of the County of Hawaii. Join us as community members drop by to share their stories, some about the eruption and others about the journey since it ended. The first episode will explore the process of Pele & Hi'iaka through multiple cultural practitioners and feature key members of the County's 2018 eruption response sharing their experiences. Future episodes will provide updates on Pohoiki, the efforts to clear sand blocking Puna's only boat ramp, new facilities at Isaac Hale Beach Park, and discussions on Pele and Ailā'au. Don't miss this opportunity to reflect, remember, and commemorate our community's resilience. Tune in tomorrow for the live stream! 🌺 4:30pm HST, May 3rd - right here LIVE on Hawaii Tracker!
