What can be done with this Hawaii volcano?

What can be done with this Hawaii volcano to prevent future loss of property?   Got to be some Geo Physicists or Engineers on a site like this.  Seems like an investment in a horizontal drilling rig to reach the nearest lava tube and give it every reason flow out into the sea (and admittedly the million dollar drilling rig).  Hence the description "investment." 

Assume economics is no major issue.  Surely something can be done to mitigate future problems.  Pump a benign gas down there to force a controlled eruption?   Pump Water down?  Open artificial fissures in unpopulated areas to release pressure?  Giant Slurpee Machine and pump the flavorful ice slurry into a magma tube?  Don't make me have to keep coming up with ideas; already used up all my sensible ones.  :)

All you have to do to stop the property damage is get smart-- The volcano is not unknown or a mystery-- the mystery is why people insist on developing property in the path of the volcano.

The same can be said about lands on regular path of tornadoes, hurricanes.. lands below sea level, or on the edge.. lands with tectonic activity.. etc. etc.

The problem is these territories, the most of time, are considered attractive for people and for developers (Florida, Hawaii)..
