Hilo, Hawaii, May 25, 2018 – The U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) deploys two CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters in the event the ongoing eruption of Kīlauea forces a mass evacuation out of Puna. Each helicopter can carry up to 43 passengers and together can evacuate approximately 400 people in four hours. Partnered with National Guard and local law enforcement, the USMC is prepared to respond to an evacuation order within an hour and has approximately 20 potential landing zones.
