Or if you are only going to be at that location for a few days or so. The gov isn't trying to set up and pay for a bunch of hotel rooms at short notice and they aren't dealing with the logistics of moving thousands of cots and crap if you're only going to be there a few days. Actually deployments are large logistical nightmares and are planned as far ahead as possible. Unexpected ones like this? Yea, you're going with what you can carry and that's it.
