I believe that if the county made evacuation "voluntary" it could cause other unforeseen problems. Which of the dozen or so people in the affected area are residents? which are people helping? Which are looters? Having everyone out probably makes it easier for the Po-Po to control access and oversee the situation.
If matters do take an unforeseen turn for the worst; how much more difficult to organize rescue missions is it, when the CD doesn't know who, where, or how many people are there?
I would suggest that people living in an inundation (or seismic, or lava, or high risk fire) make their own emergency plan with friends or family when possible.
I'm also pretty sure that if the county wasn't so proactive this event wouldn't have been fatality free.
