The question is less about leaving town, and more about changing classes or transferring to a different school.

Leaving town can be done. The calamity kills, but Chibiki describes it as some natural phenomenon, like a hurricane, not a nemesis that targets people. Although it suits the author to kill off people, such as Ikuo or the nurse Sanae, before they can tell Kouichi something useful.

The versions of the story don't give any insight on whether one can escape by changing classes or transferring to a different school. It is known that trying to hide by changing the name or classroom of the class didn't work. It is implied that Mei often not attending class doesn't immunize her from being killed.
