As there were only two fatalities in the entire evacuation of nearly 80,000 people I think your assertion that people were "TOO courteous" is incorrect.
They were as curteous as needed to ensure a timely evacuation with a minimum of loss of life.
If someone had started being 'less courteous' chaos would have broken out and many more would have died.
As much as I hate the cliched phrase it would appear that 'keep calm and carry on' was the prudent thing to do in this situation.

It's like being stuck in the slow lane, but the consequences aren't being late to work, they consequences are your entire family dying in the car beside you. I can't imagine how horrible that must have been for everyone involved.
