The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is experiencing a partial network outage that started just before 8:20 a.m. Despite this partial outage, data coming into HVO is sufficient to allow the team to detect major changes at Hawaiian volcanoes.
The data outage is related to the removal of electronic and IT equipment from the old HVO building on Uēkahuna Bluff.
HVO staff are currently assessing the problem and working on possible solutions. Restoration of data streams could take hours or days due to the complexity of the problem. Meanwhile, users of the HVO website will notice gaps in seismic and other data until the issue is resolved.
HVO continues to monitor Hawaiian volcanoes closely. Updates will be provided as they become available.
