In the Living Room

It's now 3:00 PM on Wednesday, August 2nd. This is your 4th day with the Castillo family. You're standing in the living room. The window blinds are open and it's nice outside, with temperatures in the 90s and some clouds in the blue sky. You go over to the the TV to check the weather forecast...

After listening to the weather forecast, you notice Hugo the dog is standing in the middle of the living room wagging his tail and holding the Castillo's cell phone in his mouth.

On the Phone

Carla notices Hugo holding the phone and says, "I bet Hugo's thinking about Aunt Betsy. Hugo, you're such a good dog!" Then Carla goes over to get the phone from Hugo.

Carla continues, "I guess it's time to call Aunt Betsy. She lives in a mobile home and she always has to evacuate when there's a hurricane. Can you help me sort out the evacuation advice I have to give her?"

Help Carla give good advice to Aunt Betsy for her evacuation.

Carla hangs up the phone.

In the Office

You decide to go to the office and play on the Castillo's computer.

Through the window blinds, you notice it's now partly cloudy outside. You sit at the desk in front of the Castillo's computer.
