Often, they underestimate the hurricane. In many cases a hurricane has struck an area, sometimes after dire warnings, and caused relatively little damage. Especially in hurricane-prone areas many people have gone through hurricanes and come out unscathed, and so when the next hurricane comes they won't consider it to be a serious threat, especially since hurricane evacuations cause a major disruption and can leave people in highly unpleasant conditions for days.

Well, technology allowed a massive evacuation to be ordered as Andrew approached, unlike the hurricane in 1928. As a result, much fewer people died in Andrew.
Hurricane Fifi may have killed as many as 10,000 people. It was a category 2 hurricane that hit Honduras and Belize in 1974.
When Hurricane Camille struck in 1969, many warnings were issued for people to evacuate because of how strong the storm was. It affected Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Cuba, but over 250 people died because they believed they had been through severe hurricanes before and survived, so they did not evacuate.

Hurricane hunters aim to find out the scale of the hurricane so that they can give people warnings if they need to vacate. Some data collected include the speed of the hurricane and pressure readings.
Warnings were not the issue (and it is not the job of the president to do that). The National Hurricane Center issues warnings, and they did so well in advance of Katrina. In fact, Katrina was very well predicted. It was the people who either decided to remain or had no choice who became the problem.

Yes, Rita was forecast well. It is up to people to heed warnings appropriately, and not all of them did so.
To take the advice given to you, if someone says to heed the advice given by other it means take the advice other people give you

There are always some people who believe that nothing bad is ever going to happen to them. They think the storm is not really going to cause any damage to their property.
There are just three warnings
