I do not recall any such canon evidence. Nor has there, to the best
of my knowledge, been any suggestion of additional precautions
surrounding either Longbottoms or Potters from the time the Prophecy
was made and until Dumbledore learned that Voldemort was after the
Potters specifically -- only then were, as far as we know, James and
Lily warned and protected. There has, AFAIK, been no suggestion at
any time of any extra protections for the Longbottoms.

I do assume that all members of the first Order of the Phoenix were,
by default, rather well protected and were always alert to any (known)
Death Eaters etc. This might mean that Dumbledore could allow himself
to wait telling the parents about the danger to them.
