Is there a way to release some of the pressure so that it doesn’t reach an explosion point?

If there is directionality to the bulge, then I would say the first thing is to get everyone out of the direction of the bulge for at least 10 miles away. Also identify underground areas within and beyond the danger zone to hide if you can’t move even farther away. When the north slope of Mt. St. Helens blew, it killed for at least 5 miles in that direction. After evacuation, one might try a very large explosive, but you would still probably have a very large pyroclastic blowout. It might be slightly better than waiting for nature?? Any other opinions out there?? Of course, then you might have legal liability issues.

I finally got my stubborn computer to go to the continuation link. Now I see this volcano is way out in the middle of nowhere, and the bulge is not in the volcano itself. Also it is raising at a very slow rate. It is nothing like the bulge at Mt. St. Helens, nor is it like the 300 foot bulge not many years ago at a Japanese volcano. It may not be much of a danger to anyone unless it has a climate affecting superexplosion.
