Best Answer

Hilo, Hawaii, is located on the eastern side of the Big Island of Hawaii, while the Kilauea volcano is located on the southern side of the island. Although Hilo is relatively close to Kilauea, it is not directly impacted by its eruptions. However, Hilo can experience minor effects such as volcanic gases, vog (volcanic smog), and occasional ash fall depending on the wind direction and strength.

No. The part of the island where Hilo is located is primarily on the slopes of Mauna Loa, where it is well beyond the reach of Kilauea's lava flows. The city is more than 20 miles from Kilauea's active vent.
