Wife required to go to work during expected flooding

So I'm currently out of state, otherwise it wouldn't be as much of an issue. But pretty much as the title says. She's working nights at a hospital and management is saying people are still expected to show up to work, despite the fact that the govt is expecting to have to close the only roads that lead back home (a lot of people commute from the next town over). They said that if there is flooding, they'll have hotel rooms booked for everyone affected. The thing is we have 3 cats at home and no one able to take care of them if my wife gets stuck at work for a day or two. The only employee protection laws I'm seeing are if the job site itself are threatened, not if the route to/from work is threatened. Is there anything we can do?
