Hawaiʻi-scoped Kīlauea briefs

· revised 2026-08-20 12:49:12 HST

AI hazard copy stays on Kīlauea, Hawaiʻi Island, and Hawaiʻi-relevant alerts. Mainland observatory weeklies stay out unless the Pacific is actually in it.

Root Record's Kīlauea report refinement is the editorial rule for this blog and the status tiles:

  • Hazard briefs are scoped to Kīlauea, Hawaiʻi Island, and Hawaiʻi-relevant products.
  • Official social feeds are filtered before writing.
  • Routine mainland observatory weeklies are dropped unless they are massive, life-threatening, or tsunami for the Pacific / Hawaiʻi.
  • USGS / HVO notices, NWS Hawaiʻi, Big Island quakes, and tsunami products stay.
  • Charts and archive point at rootrecord.online (Big Island earthquakes), not player Discord.

This is why volcano copy lives here instead of in #updates. The Minecraft guild is not an HVO mailing list.
