In fairness, didn't most of the staff leave because of the hurricane?

Yep, though only in the film adaptation, as novel Hammond was such a cheapskate that he intentionally had a handful of folks running things on the island to begin with. Still love the novelization having Ed Regis be eaten by the T-Rex instead of Gennaro, leading up to him unexpectedly having a heroic moment not only destroying the velociraptor nest later on, but also surviving the events of the first book only for an illness he caught while on a business trip to the Congo to be what ultimately winds up killing him. Also funny that Dr. Henry Wu actually gets killed in the novel as opposed to becoming the full-on supervillain he seems to have embraced in the newer Jurassic World films.
