About volcanoes in Hawaii
Most volcanoes sit at their normal background level most of the time. The USGS alert level (Normal, Advisory, Watch, Warning) reflects current unrest, not the long-term hazard of living near a volcano.
An elevated alert level does not mean an eruption is certain. It means monitoring has detected activity above background and scientists are watching more closely.
