The Villages ready to take action as Tropical Storm Ian gathers strength

The Villages District government is ready to take action as Tropical Storm Ian gathers strength in the Caribbean.

• Outdoor furniture may be secured or placed indoors.

• 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
