But don't tell them how much food or other preparations you have in detail. If you have to go a month without the ability to get new food you don't want the entire neighborhood at your door. Better to generally recommend how much food they should have and encourage them to get it themselves.

Depends. When the chain-gang slaves drag the local warlord's battle-bus into your neighbourhood to confiscate everyone's food, can you fight-off his soldiers on your own?
