To be fair, if that supervolcano was all going to blow we'd all be completely screwed. It would most likely take out a huge chunk of the US and the dust would get into the atmosphere and block out the sun all over the Earth for God only knows how long. It would be absolutely catastrophic. So monitoring it wouldn't matter so much, as we'd just be preparing for the end of the world as we know it.
