The short answer is, the amount of time that passed between the earliest warnings and the first explosion was probably about half a minute, during which nothing could be done to prevent it.
The Chernobyl Disaster happened during an experimental safety test as the plant was being shut down. It resulted from a combination of flaws in plant design, the design of the test, and human errors. It will probably never be fully understood why the conditions were precisely what they were. The result was that conditions were abnormal, but they were expected to be so. By the time anyone knew anything was going wrong, it was already too late do do anything about it. The experiment began at 1:23:04. The emergency shutdown button was pressed thirty six seconds later, though no one knows why. The time it took to insert the control rods was about 20 seconds, but temperatures in the core were going up so fast, the rods broke and got stuck. The first explosion, a steam explosion that blew the reactor apart, took place before 1:24, and the second, chemical, explosion was took place about three seconds later.

Chernobyl was the only large-scale abandonment of a city due to a nuclear disaster in history.

Unlike the latter examples, Chernobyl remained completely uninhabited after the 1986 nuclear meltdown at a power plant a few miles from the city. The population of Chernobyl was bordering on 10,000 people before the explosion, and the 2010 population census revealed that only about 500 people remained there after the meltdown.
