There may be no time for either - a "surprise" eruption (as occurred in 1984) could easily have lava flows in the ocean (and through a few back doors) in a couple of hours time.... If it happens at night, HVO won't even know where the flows are traveling since they can't fly at night...
Are you sure this is still a possibility? I was under the impression that the greater amount of monitoring dedicated to this volcano and the improved methods of doing so have removed this hazard.
