If you're to evacuate, do it now. Copy the code and your database to a USB key or your laptop.
When you get somewhere that has Internet access, it's a lot simpler than you'd think. Go to aws.amazon.com, setup an account. Create an micro or small EC2 instance running Windows - look for an AMI that runs SQL Server Express. It'll take a few minutes to spin up, but once it does, you RDP in - you set up CF and your database like you would on any other server.
