HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY INFORMATION STATEMENT
U.S. Geological Survey
Sunday, February 1, 2026, 11:18 AM HST (Sunday, February 1, 2026, 21:18 UTC)

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory website is currently offline. This appears to be part of a larger issue with USGS public websites. The current outage has had no impact on HVO's ability to transmit data or monitor for volcanic and seismic activity. All internal monitoring systems are currently active as is the HANS/VNS system that sends notices to emergency management and public subscribers.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is one of five volcano observatories within the U.S. Geological Survey and is responsible for monitoring volcanoes and earthquakes in Hawaiʻi and American Samoa.

Edit: Strange that. I just checked their website usgs.gov/observatories/hvo and it looks okay now. Must have been a temporary outage. All the other observatories usgs.gov/science/observatories look okay too.

Some #vaccines are making progress in protecting vulnerable species
Scientists are testing shots to protect species from #birdflu, #whitenosesyndrome and more. Multiple projects that seek to leverage vaccines to protect #endangeredspecies from disease
Vaccines can be an essential conservation tool, says Tonie Rocke, #USGS wildlife biologist. As habitats shrink, animals interact with each other more frequently, new opportunities for pathogens.
