Hawaii's largest island has declared a state of emergency after lava from an active volcano threatened homes.
The lava flow from Kilauea volcano is now less than a mile from houses in Ka'ohe Homesteads, said county mayor Billy Kenoi.
He told residents on Hawaii Island, also known as the Big Island, to monitor emergency services' news updates and be ready to evacuate their homes.
The lava could reach homes within days "We are taking this step to ensure our residents have time to prepare their families, their pets, and their livestock for a safe and orderly evacuation from Ka'ohe in the event the flow continues to advance," he said.
According to the Honolulu Star newspaper, the lava could reach houses within days, possibly a week.
Hawaii Island is among the eight main islands that make up the Pacific US state.
The archipelago also includes hundreds of smaller volcanic islands.
