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.

Oh, dude, the nearest city to Mauna Loa is Hilo, like, it's not rocket science. Mauna Loa is, like, this massive volcano in Hawaii, and Hilo is, like, the closest city to it. So, if you're looking to grab a coffee or something after checking out some lava, head on over to Hilo.
