General Comments:
During the current Kilauea volcano eruption and ongoing lava flow emergency, Hawaii radio amateurs should monitor the VOAD Repeater on Mauna Kea (146.72 MHz, 100 Hz tone) and the interisland 40 meter frequency (7.088 MHz–LSB). These frequencies can be used to send emergency traffic. The Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency sends updated eruption information to Hawaii Island broadcast stations and social media.
