Severe Weather Preparations - UPDATED 8/30/2019

While emergency management continues to be a function of the county in which
you reside, the District works extremely hard in ensuring the safety of
District staff, residents of The Villages and District facilities.  In
preparation of the potential for severe weather, you may see some of the
following preparations occurring throughout the community.

ALL indoor and outdoor Recreation Facilities, including swimming pools, will
be closed beginning Saturday, August 31st at 5:00 p.m.  It is currently
anticipated that recreation centers & outdoor facilities will remain closed
Sunday, September 1st through Tuesday, September 3rd (dates are subject to
change).  For your health, safety and well-being please DO NOT ENTER any
facility or park vehicles in the parking lots until it has been cleared and
opened by The Villages Public Safety Department.  

All Executive Golf Courses will be closed Sunday, September 1st through
Friday, September 6th to safely assess all conditions.  

In addition, the following preparations may be taking place:

*           Certain wind screens will be removed from outdoor court areas. 

*           Outdoor furniture may be secured or placed indoors. 

*           District administrative offices may close. 

*           If there is a potential for strong winds, gate arms may be
removed.  If you approach a gate in which the gate arm has been removed,
please use extreme caution and make sure to stop before proceeding. 

*           Irrigation may run along common areas and roadways to lower the
water levels in water retention areas.  This is done to ensure adequate
capacity of the storm water management system. 

We will continue to post updates as we begin some (or all) of the
preparations mentioned above.  If it is determined that preparations need to
be made for the safety of this community, please understand that it may take
days to complete these preparations.  Facilities will be re-opened after it
has been determined that the area and facilities are safe to do so by The
Villages Public Safety Department or other appropriate agency.  We greatly
appreciate your understanding and patience.
