they only reason why they don't (it seems) is the bald guy moans 'we are not the only town...in the state!'

Geological events generally happen on a much longer schedule than Hollywood portrays. I'm not sure what a more realistic timeline would have been, but I think it would have involved the town being evacuated for a much longer period of time.

The towns business was dependent upon Elliot Blair's investment. If they evacuated the town then Elliot would pull his investment and the town would lose money. Afterall you don't want to invest your money in a town that is going to blow up in a few weeks.

If I remember correctly there was mention of a similar incident years before, but it turned out to be a false alarm. Everyone left the town, and it went bust. They don't want to risk that unless they have absolute scientific proof the nearby volcano will erupt.
