On a scale of a couple million years, separating one eruption into two phases 6000 years apart isn't very significant. I guess if there were people around it would make a difference at the margins but no practical difference for the most part.
I think I’m sitting pretty here in South Florida. We do have hurricane risk, to be sure. Just none of that big boom risk. Wouldn’t want to be in the Dakotas or MN/WI/MI, etc.
