The County of Hawai‘i's Kīlauea Disaster Recovery Team launched a Housing Recovery survey in February 2021 to help guide recovery projects, including a Voluntary Housing Buyout Program. Surveys were mailed to 1,275 owners of properties affected by the eruption and made available online. In total, 815 surveys were completed.
