Description: Pāhoa, Hawaii, May 19, 2018 – U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) volunteer Allan Lerner uses hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) sensors to test the air quality after the Kīlauea volcanic eruption. The residential area of Leilani Estates has been evacuated due to the high concentration of SO2 emitting from the cracks in the earth that spilled lava into the subdivisions. At the request of the state, FEMA staff are on the ground to support local officials with life-saving emergency protective measures, debris removal, and the repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged publicly-owned facilities.
