You can't. No matter what happens, someone will always grab at least some of their cabin baggage. Much of it is just basic instinct, people train themselves that they grab their stuff when they leave a location. Evac or not, people will reach for their bags as a reflex without thinking.
There may be items in the bags that the pax needs (passport, money, meds, etc) and they will just grab it. In many cases, it would take longer for them to stop, think, override their instinct and not pick up something then it would be for them to just collect it.
