People were most likely doing what they always did cause back then they wouldn't of know a volcano was about to explode.
Blame for what, the eruption? They thought that it was the doing of the gods.
They didn't prepare. The Lake Toba eruption was 74,000 years ago, before the development of civilization. The people around at the time were hunter-gatherers. They didn't know what a volcano was or how to prepare for an eruption.
An earthquake happened 17 years before the eruption.
Generally pyroclastic flows happen during an eruption.
how did people prepare for the mt. st. helens eruption

about 20.000 people
The 1669 eruption of Mount Etna killed 20,000 people. The death rate was so high because citizens refused to leave their city before the eruption occurred.
Before a volcano erupts, people are just living their lives, going about their daily routines. There typically wasn't much warning before a major eruption, and there still isn't a good early detection and warning system.

There was 500 people before the eruption. Now there is about 2000-300.

There have been a number of cases. Pyroclastic flows killed people in Herculaneum in the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius, in Ketimbang and on the Island of Sebesi in the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, in St Pierre in the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelee, in the state of Washington in the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens, and in Japan during the 1991 eruption of Mount Unzen.
The first eruption was about 3.825,this was before human was alive!!
An earthquake happened 17 years before the eruption.
it will destroy homes and cars but all the people need to do is get away before it gets there
