all logistics aside, I think there's also the numbing impact of living in a fascist society. Like, yes, that's ominous, but the Empire is always doing ominous shit!!! it's gotta throw its weight around and make sure everyone knows it's the biggest and scariest and to bend the knee. of course they're posturing with their newest biggest gun, whatever it is. but the sun still shines and you still have to get home and make dinner for the kids and get up in the morning, you know?

5 minutes is just not enough time to emotionally reconcile "this really definitely is it, time to uproot your entire life, abandon everything and become refugees on a completely different planet (that's also probably in the empire btw, good luck)", let alone get your family organized and onto a hyperdrive ship. and 98% of the planet at least probably lives and works entirely on the planet, so there wouldn't BE enough ships for everyone even if they had time and drilled evacuation plans. so anyone who did know what the death star was capable of had very good reasons for not starting a mass panic unless they knew the death star was 1) actually done, it's been in construction delay hell for years, you know how govt projects are, and 2) actually going to fire. on them. right now. rather than just being threatening and getting some weird new concessions from the planetary govt. Which they didn't and couldn't know!
