My rental house in Hawaii was affected by the volcanic eruption in 2018. It's value dropped a lot, but it is still usable. Can I deduct any of the lost value?

No, unfortunately you cannot deduct the decrease in market value of your rental property. This loss is an unrealized loss which will be realized only when you sell the property.
