The only thing communities can do is to be prepared for such an event. Things such as training the emergency rescue services in the area to be able to respond to an eruption or identifying the areas that are at high risk are things that can be done by the local community. The state government will have to be involved to make sure that the citizens are evacuated into a safe region and that there will be a steady food and water supply for them. The state/Federal government may also enlist the services of special emergency response teams specifically designed to deal with environmental disasters, these response teams may look to deal with the lava directly and divert away from the populated areas by spraying them with water or bombing them.
