As someone who loves Kona I hope it doesn't get covered in lava any time soon. That said those people built a city beside an active volcano so they know that they're signing up for 🤷

The lava flows on Kona side would mostly go through sparsely populated areas. Kailua-Kona is safe because Hualalai is between it and Mauna Loa. Where Mauna Loa erupting could be really bad is if the northeast rift zone erupts. That would put Hilo in danger.
