all that rare and even with USGS and the best seismic and DAILY continuous monitoring, we can not always definitively predict in time to allow for those living nearby or visiting or even volcanologists measuring to escape.

We shall see what the situation was here as more comes out, but it may not reflect the kind of negligence one might assume nor possibly any at all beyond the level of questionable risk-taking we accept for ourselves.
