Many moms who are worried about the swine flu situation are turning to Hawaii MomsLikeMe.com for information, preparedness tips and sympathetic ears for their worries.

To join the conversation, go to http://Hawaii.MomsLikeMe.com, click on the pink Discussions tab near the top of the page, and scroll down to the Current Events forum.

While some moms have expressed deep concern, other moms have stressed that it's best to avoid panic, and to take steps to prepare for various scenarios.

"I'm going to take precautions and purchase masks and hand sanitizers, and probably go to Costco to buy an extra set of necessities," wrote one mom who goes by the screen name MusubiGirl. "If I won't use it now, at least I will be prepared for hurricane season."
