Default NEED IMMEDIATE HELP!! engine shaking and maint. light on

hi guys, im leaving for home in 5 hrs and i need help quickly!!! i just started my car, and i feel this heavy shaking. I drive like 10 feet, and all of a sudden the maintainence required light starts flashing (ive never seen it flash before) and my car continues shaking. I can feel the engine shaking, so i pulled over and checked it out with a flashlight. the only thing i could see was that the engine physically was slightly shaking. when i stopped the car, i saw that the belt that connects to the left of my engine had some chunks missing. i need to know:

1) wtf happened???
2) i need to get my car to my garage, which is about 1/3 mile away. is it safe to do so?
3) long term solution? nearest honda dealership is about 10 miles away. should i have my car towed there when i get back?

please help! thank you.

p.s. i have a 2000 honda accord v6 sedan
