Sulfur dioxide levels have reached the closure level in the summit area of the park.
Park Superintendent Cindy Orlando has ordered the closure of the park until further notice.
"Our primary concern is for the health and safety of visitor and employees," Commander Joe Molhoek. " We're in close contact with the National Weather Service and look forward to favorable winds by week's end."
For the safety of everyone, park operations have been curtailed and park rangers are in the process of closing the park, inlcuding Kilauea Military Camp and Volcano House Hotel.
There is no immediate threat to anyone's safety. National Park Service emergency responders will remain on duty until further notice. The park will reopen when favorable winds return.
