Cabin crew are only to initiate the evacuation if the event is 'clearly catastrophic'. The SCCM will communicate with the Flight Crew who make the situation as safe as possible and will order an evac if the conditions dictate.
The main priority in any situation is obviously passenger safety. Every action is taken to ensure this, though communicating with passengers is not always priority number one.
Well done to the crew onboard today in what must've been an incredibly demanding situation.
