Twenty-three people have been rescued, but it is unclear how many people remained on the island.
Police say aerial reconnaissance flights have not identified any sign of life there.
White Island, also called Whakaari, is the country's most active volcano.
Police have said fewer than 50 people were on the island when the volcano erupted.
