Ash mask distribution centers will be open from 3:30 – 7:30 p.m. at Pahala Community Center, Naalehu Community Center, Hawaiian Ocean View Community Center, Cooper Center in Volcano, and Shipman Gym in Keaau. Residents can pick up free particle masks for themselves and family members, although they are advised that the masks only provide protection from volcanic ash and provide negligible defense against fumes and vapors.
