The Villages CERT will work with the TVPSD to support them in the search and rescue effort, but the time frame will not be like going through a fast food drive through. Keep what you need on hand for your family at all times. (I know Fireboy can give this lecture as well. )

Every year at the beginning of Hurricane season in June I think it is, the Daily Sun runs information about safety and preparedness for a hurricane. If you stop by the closest firehouse you can be registered for the call system that alerts you to any danger, be it weather or a dangerous person who is loose.
I can well understand a person's concern about this situation and it is easy for us to forget that every year we have new people seeking this information. If you can't find the hurricane preparedness article, call or stop by The Daily Sun. It is very helpful and even lists a couple of churches that will shelter you in the face of a weather disaster.
