Oh, one other suggestion is to make sure you stop the mail and the paper, UPS, etc... You probably thot of it already tho.
Unless you have a residential fire sprinkler system, don't worry about it. The fire department will either find the closest hydrant, bring the water with them or pump it from a holding pond/lake. Your pressure would not even come close enough to work for them.
Terry fire dept does not use your water supply, not enough pressure to matter for them. In a rural area without hydrants they bring water tenders that carry a few thousand gallons of water.
