Are H and J band observations also desired?

The alert notice does not specifically call out observations in the H and J bands.  I assume these would be of value to provide coverage into the near infrared, as long as we can get a reasonable amount of coverage from the few observers with H and J band capability. Does this make sense, or would the H and J band provide only incremental benefit to this campaign?
