A new volcano update is being hosted by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory in collaboration with the Emergency Management Office of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Do you want to see what is going on in the crater of Pu`u `O`o, Kilauea's erupting vent? Then check out the new panorama image from a camera (circled in both photographs) located on the north rim of Pu`u `O`o's crater. The images are refreshed every five minutes. You will always find a link to the panorama on the Kilauea update page. We caution you to view the panorama in the overall context of what is happening at Kilauea Volcano. We urge you to always refer to the Kilauea update when viewing the panorama.
The camera is subject to sporadic breakdown, and its remote location makes immediate repair impossible. Cameras can be where people should not. Pu`u `O`o is off-limits to the general public because of multiple and significant volcanic hazards.

If you felt an earthquake and would like to report it, go to the Earthquake Felt Report Form. We encourage you to submit such reports, which help us determine the intensity of the earthquake.
