The Hawaii Traveler

With the volcanoes on the Big Island still making a ruckus, the vog in Hawai’i is becoming kind of a big deal. With some full-time residents fleeing the island due to health concerns, there’s a lot of head-scratching going on in the islands about what’s what and how much vog is too much.

No matter who you are, I think it’s safe to say that one should never have to pack a canary for his/her vacation. (You won’t get it through security anyway.) Here are few of the ways you can get a virtual handle on how big and bad the vog is before you arrive on the Big Island.

• Hawaii’s Department of Health monitors and reports on air quality daily.
• This real-live vog blog keeps it real, with real residents and visitors posting real things about real vog.
• Big Island Health Guide helps readers understand what they can do to stay healthy in the midst of the volcanic mist.
