what is the current situation where you are. yes we're on the east side of the big island of hawaii and right now we are going through a period of time where we differ through massive swelling of the volcano and it's starting to release some of the energy in the last couple days what we've seen is lots and lots of earthquakes i think in the last three to four days there's been well over a thousand and in the last couple days in particular they've gotten more intense today they got a little bit you were and we got some active ones like a six point nine that was just described there are fissures that are opening up down on the east rift i believe that at the meeting tonight and behold there had been somewhere between six and eight act decisions that had opened up in the last twenty four hours and you mentioned a meeting that you went to and it was a local council meeting where the situation was being told to the public can you

fill us in about what happened there and what they may have advised the public to do. yeah you know they had they had to evacuate a lot of different small communities down there for different threats their belief that people are going to be in harm's way if different things happened so they were really going through evacuation plans and the shelters that people could go to they had representatives from really all of the government entities to give ideas of what could be done people from public works people talking about the utilities people talking about people's pets and the humane society so it was really just an information grab all these for people to get together and understand what is going on but they also gave them serious pieces of information like the fact that you know the last time something like this happened in hawaii was in one nine hundred fifty five and that particular event lasted about three months long so they want everybody to understand that this is something that's going to be intense if it

shut off tomorrow or could last for a really long time and so everybody really just needs to make the proper preparations whatever that means to each of them wow so the last time this happened you said it went on for three months the public really has no idea when they could possibly return home how did people react when they heard this information. you know. i can only compare this to like two thousand or two when with young twenty seven slow moved towards the exact town where the meeting was tonight in paula white and what i noticed is at that time people didn't really know what was going on they were very unsure as the lava crept closer to town people kind of were very high anxiety and it seemed like nobody wanted anybody near the love of everybody just want to get the kind of happened and this time it seems like people are very receptive to information and the more information they get the better decisions they can make and i've noticed this time that social media has actually sort of

taken over and allowed people to get kind of. being on the ball in hawaii who are not written over be in the fastest place on the planet and when people on social media can show radios or actual evidence of things happening that it makes it easier for the police the fire department civil defense all those places to make the proper decisions to get into action and go start doing their jobs socially ms has proved a good way to communicate with the public and for them to communicate with the government john tar senator thank you very much for information of law the lavatory guide from epic law based on the island of hawaii. and hawaii wasn't the only place at the mercy of natural forces here are some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. geological survey also says a six point one magnitude earthquake has struck off the philippines the quake hit off the coast of the eastern province of kut wanted us there were no immediate
