“These islands should never have been inhabited.”
Nah.
In fact it has been brilliantly inhabited:- by using disposable housing! And there’s a nice big road to evacuate on.
Hurricanes will always come, but they quickly go too.

That “nice big road” to which you refer is U.S. 1, the Overseas Highway. It features all of two lanes, one in each direction. I would assume that both lanes would be used for outbound traffic in the event of an evacuation, though I don’t know that for sure.
But regardless, any emergency manager can tell you that trying to evacuate any place where there is only one exit is fraught with peril. Something like this is not to be taken lightly.
