The buildings to be taken down are located on the Uēkahuna bluff at the summit of Kīlauea. They are the former Jaggar Museum, and two buildings used by the U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, the Okamura Building and the Geochemistry Annex.
While the most recent activity at Maunaloa and Kīlauea has paused, the National Park Service is moving forward on cleaning up damage from past eruptions.
