We, at the Bug House, have a good stockpile of canned goods on hand that we rotate out on a routine basis. We also have the bottled water - as well as plenty of wine and cookies - for emergencies. A two week supply is more than enough.

In the 5 years I have been here, we have not lost power for more than a minute.

I cannot forsee any evacuation possibilities that would make us leave The Villages. Any doom and gloom possibility of poisoned water, pandemic, or nuclear explosion would not be better off by evacuating and living in a tent in the Georgia mountains. Besides, most of us Villagers are over 65 and not up to what we did for survival when we were in the military in our 20's.
