Here's a question I didn't see addressed: What are those new fissures going to do to homeowners whose houses were not destroyed? Since future eruptions tend to follow past eruptions those neighborhoods are now hot spots where nobody is going to be able to live even if this outbreak stops without getting worse. Leaving near a volcano is one thing, living directly on top of an active fissure is quite another. I know people in volcano zones pay a hefty premium on their insurance and their houses will be covered if lost. Are their houses covered if not destroyed, but devalued to essentially zero? Are people whose houses were lost able to recoup their actual property value for their lots being inhabitable or will they only get what the physical house replacement value is and lose the equity in the property itself?
Anyone here from Hawaii that carries volcano insurance on their homes that can shed some light on this?
