Masterag,
The chances of a copperhead biting you are extremely small. Even if you did get bitten, you more than likely won't die from it. Just clean the wound and calmly drive yourself to the hospital. No big deal.
The real question is: Where are the other copperheads? Copperheads usually remain close to their snake den. Sometimes snakes are forced to find a new snake den when their previous den has been destroyed (construction, flooding, etc). Hope and pray the copperheads haven't identified your property as their new snake den because if they have there is nothing you can do (short of burning down your house and moving away) to urge them to move elsewhere. Once copperheads identify their den it's game over.
