Eruptions on the big island happen pretty frequently, maybe about 1-2 times per decade (partly because there are several volcanoes there; Kilauea was erupting when I was there less than a decade ago). It's in some ways comparable to hurricanes on the gulf coast, but with fewer deaths historically. Not to say that it is safe as such, but residents of the big island are very good at dealing with it.

- goodcanadian 4y agoKilauea (the other active volcano on Hawaii island) erupted continuously from 1983–2018. It erupted, again, in 2020-2021, and is currently erupting as best I can tell. It is more notable when it is not erupting! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%ABlauea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%ABlauea
