Sort of, before volcanos erupt there is often a lot of detectable seismic activity. Howeer you can have similar seisimc activity without an eruption; and there have been eruptions were there was little seismic activty immediately prior to the event.
Seismologists are getting better at predicting eruptions, but they still have a lot of work yet to do.
