Safe for you and your family, yes. For the drywall...probably not.

Temporarily stashed under roof and tarp...not likely any problem. If
"temporary" turns into several months, likelihood increases but still,
if it is protected from direct moisture, what's the difference of where
that is?

My question, I guess, is specifically, what do you think a problem here?


I'll answer your question with a question.
Where is this porch?
and another
Do you think that ambient humidity might have an influence on a bone
dry paper product?


Not unless it is near 100% RH continuously for quite a long time will it
have any long term detrimental affect. Most places store drywall in
open warehouses, anyway.
