The eruption remains confined to the Halemaʻumaʻu crater within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, which is closed to the public. Volcanic gas emissions, including sulfur dioxide, pose respiratory risks, particularly in areas downwind of the vents. Tephra, such as volcanic ash and Pele’s hair, may fall near the vents and be carried further by wind, posing risks to skin, eyes, and respiratory health. Ground instability, including cracking and rockfalls, remains a significant hazard near the crater.
