Trains are maybe not such a huge issue. I mean... if lava starts to flow you just don't go there?

  And then you have to shut down lots of supply chains. You could just route the tracks a minimum distance from active volcanoes and not worry about the next eruption disrupting transportation.

    Material damage to a road or a track is a different matter from a catastrophy where an entire settlement gets wiped with all souls. We have roads high up in the mountains even though there is danger they get flooded, rock falls on them, the ground gives, etc. We build wooden houses where tornadoes are regular occurrence. It is not all stupidity, think of it at least partly as a sign of stubbornness and perseverance of humankind.
