Humans aren't too concerned with events that might happen on a geological timescale. If they were, nobody would live in much of California, or the Pacific Northwest and other areas that have the potential to one day, explode, turn to rubble, or fall into the sea.

The reality is that there's not much chance of one's house being destroyed or being killed by a volcano in Hawaii. We got lots of other things though. Stuff like hurricanes, flash floods, and tsunamis. We've been hit by several devastating hurricanes in the last few decades. We had epic flooding on Kauai a couple of weeks ago. The Governor sent a request to Trump a few days ago, requesting some assistance. I'm not holding my breath.
