Zone 3 includes areas gradationally less hazardous than zone 2 because of greater distance from recently active vents or because the topography makes it less likely that flows will cover these areas. Developed areas between Kea`au and Pahoa and on the south side of Highway 11 between Kea`au and Volcano are in zone 3.
