When I checked last year, we were a 'shelter in place' location, therefore much of the info above is useful. As for power, yes the villages electrical system is underground and fairly well protected, however, ALL of the supplies to the villages are from ABOVE GROUND facilities, which will be subjected to the wind, rain, and possible debris from a storm. If you use a generator, make sure it is OUTDOORS, not in the house, not in the garage.
Be safe.
