Donna Donor, a homeschooling mom of 1, lives in a flood-prone area. She transfers her car to higher ground when rains persist. In case of an emergency evacuation mommy Roxanne Santiago recommends keeping a "Go Bag”. Inside, she keeps a few pieces of clothing, food and milk, gadgets and chargers, and important documents like birth certificates and passports. Cheryl Goodman makes sure that her twin daughters know the Family Emergency Plan – where to go, what to do, and who to call.
