URGING THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TO CONDUCT TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEYS, PARTICULARLY WITHIN LAVA-FLOW HAZARD ZONES 1 AND 2, TO UPDATE ITS LONG-TERM LAVA-FLOW HAZARD MAP OF HAWAII ISLAND.

This bill urges the United States Geological Survey to update Hawaii Island's long-term lava-flow hazard map by conducting new topographical surveys, specifically within the highest-risk Zones 1 and 2. The proposed updates aim to incorporate modern elevation data and more detailed risk assessments that were missing from the map last revised in 1992. By requesting these changes, the resolution seeks to provide emergency management agencies and local residents with more accurate information about potential volcanic threats. The measure is non-binding and serves only to formally ask the federal agency to perform this specific scientific review.
