Gov. Ige signed the initial emergency proclamation on May 3, the day the latest Kilauea eruption began. The first supplementary proclamation was issued on May 9, the second supplementary proclamation was signed on June 5, and the third on Aug. 3.

The fourth supplementary proclamation extends the disaster emergency relief period until Dec. 1, 2018.
