You're a great Patriot and could I ask you and anyone else who will be leaving after a few days:

• Please consider leaving as much gear, rations, tools and batteries as possible with those who are able to stay longer.

If you are able to come back weeks later you can, hopefully, load up with new gear, food, magazines etc. I understand many can't necessarily afford that or will need their stuff for other projects but: for those who can - please leave supplies with those who are staying for the longer haul.
